Alpha contacted me about cleaning up a bike he just purchased to set up a detail to get the bike back in shape. It has its fair share or surface scratches/water etching/road grime from sitting/riding in the rain over the past few weeks. So we set a date and had the bike detailed.

A quick swipe test on the front wheel..notice the letters have almost turned black as well.


The back wheel needed a good cleaning as well.


The paint was in dire need of a machine polish. To machine polish a bike, you must remove anything that could get snagged or hit by the rotating assembly of the machine. I usually start by removing the seats or any objects that protrude from the bike, the smaller stuff I tape off to prevent any damage.








In this lighting, you can clearly see the heavy water etching from sitting water.


In this image, you can clearly see the amount of surface scratches/swirls in the paint.

 

I proceeded to tape off half of the tank. I was surprised at the outcome, a true night and day difference!






Now some AFTERS! It was starting to sprinkle again as it had been raining on and off throughout the day, so please dont mind the water droplets.







A little proven power.










Remember that rear wheel?


This is a nice shot to show off the bikes lines.

 

how much does the detail run?

 

For a stock sport bike, I start at $125. Cruisers and bikes with a lot of chrome are a bit more. This includes a complete citrus wash to remove any oils/road grime, complete paint polishing, unpainted plastic pieces are dressed appropriately, then the bike is coated with two layers of sealant to keep it protected and stay clean longer. I then dress the tires..JUST KIDDING

Shoot me a PM if interested. Thanks!

 

o right on..not too bad on the price

 

I have been wondering if you guys did bikes and I asked the hid guy you were with at the jdm ups meet he said yea but wasnt sure on pricing. I really need this done to mine and cant wait however 125 is a bit steap for me rite now. I know its a fair price but just a few dollars over what i can swing rite now.

 

Bike looks awesome! Last time I saw Alpha he had to ride the poor thing through the rain. XD Your work is freaking awesome. :]

 

As always nice job bro!

 

ya after seeing the shineyness of the motor and frame i might have to make a apt.Mine is the same body style.

 

Hmmm... a little over priced. Now if you had been able to turn it into a Ducati or MVAgusta... that might have been worth it...

But now matter how much you polish a t....errr. gixxer its still a gixxer
