Thanks man!! Yes ...easy to keep clean with some KW7 Matte Detail spray from Killerwaxx too. Check out my video here ua-cam.com/video/bNROJ4bj1qw/v-deo.html
Love the video buddy!! I tried a couple of links from your equipment in the description and they didn't work. Not sure if it's myself or the link, so I figured I'd say something just in case.
I have deep scratch in my rear fender caused when screwdriver slipped while tightening rear screw. I have the HD touch up kit ( paint& clear coat) what sandpaper should I start with to wet sand first before applying paint?
Thanks man! Yeah I see it all the time...guys grabbing the most abrasive stuff first...always good to start in the middle and see which way you need to go from there.
Hey man...thanks for checking it out...I tend to stay away from the sealers...f11 seems to be a very popular product but the pros dont out weigh the cons for me. You still have to apply them every 3 months, same as wax, they even recommend to detail shops that its applied every month...you still have to wash your vehicle on a regular basis, you still have to go through all of the prep stages like I talked about on here...Basically you want your paint looking as new as you can get it before you apply the sealer...I see a lot of guys thinking its magic in a bottle and it will restore your old paint...it wont..its just a sealer. Doesnt leave much else to compare but the price...for the price I can buy a good polish and wax that I can do many bikes with or vehicles...just doesnt weigh out for me.
Thank you man! I haven't personally had any issues with the clear on HD bikes....really no more than any other bike honestly but im not a painter either lol
Is that a harbor freight dual action polisher an when using them I heard that you should use the product till it's almost clear or is that with just polisher
Yes...its a perfect budget polisher..Ive probably done 20 bikes with this and 10 or so cars and trucks. Great for personal use. With the cutting agents, stages 1 and 2 you wont want to wait till the product is almost clear as it will get thick from the heat and start to gum up. With a finishing polish you can get it pretty clear but I still dont let it completely disappear. Same with waxes if you us a DA...apply it, let it cure them remove.
"one step" and "all in one" polishes oftentimes start out coarse and then proceed to break down toward the end. These polishes will start out cloudy then indicate that the polish is about depleted when it begins to turn clear.
Hey man sorry im just seeing some of these comments for some reason...yeah they dont sell a clay bar...KW Illinois has a few kits but im not sure they have one with this exact set up. I get my claybars from amazon...If you already have a quick detailer dont waste your money on the claybar/clay bar lube kits...the "lube" is just a quick detailer so use what you have or get some cheapo one from walmart. I get the Chemical Guys clay bars. They have a few grades...I use the Medium and Original grade found here www.amazon.com/Chemical-Guys-CLY_402-Medium-Clay/dp/B00G3EAGFG/ref=sr_1_10?keywords=clay+bar&qid=1568461202&s=gateway&sr=8-10
Hey Chaz...not a ton you can do to matte or denim paint...except clean it...we use KW7 matte detail spray here in the shop from Killerwaxx. I have seen dudes put that F11 on there and it changes the color of the paint......there is a product called RAT WAX though I have seen videos on and it looks amazing. Its formulated for matte/denim paint. Check them out and see what you think.
Hey Tok! Honestly no...I have never used it. I have watched the videos and have seen the pros and cons of using it...I just stick to the tried and true method of keeping it clean and always having a good coat of protection on the paint. Nothing more satisfying then getting the bike all shined up. I just dont think there is a magic pill out there for paint. It really all boils down to the person and how much time they want to spend on their bike I guess. Have you used it? Whats your thoughts on it?
Steven Housden - I’ve Never tried it! For some reason this product popped up on Facebook and I’ve been looking at videos about it. A little expensive for wax!? Been using Mothers for a long time. Thanks for the quick response, keep the rubber down and ride safe
Pete Lanzone hey Pete I talked to Ron last night and he is patiently waiting on a restock order from the main place out in cali. He said to check back in a week and hopefully everything will be back in stock. I need some blue dream paste myself and I seen that was out of stock too... When it hits the shelf I'll post back on here too.
Not a bad video. But you can tell he hasn't done it very long. Lot of mistakes. I've done paint correction for 40 yrs. Not bad mistakes just ones that effect his results.
I must not have made too many mistakes...the bike looked brand new when i was done. Thanks for checking it out though..I was looking for your detail videos...weird..didnt see any.
@@sikbaggers I don't do UA-cam videos. Why show your competition how you do things. Why give them a advantage? Why post videos on how to detail a bike? That just takes away from your business. Don't get me wrong you do great videos.
@@sikbaggers I usually don't do this but i'm gonna tell you how it's done. After you clay the bike use Kleen Strip PrepAll to remove all the detail spray residue. You want to start with a virgin clearcoat. Then do your compound then you guessed it PrepAll again to remove all compound residue. Then polish and again PrepAll to remove residue. Then your wax has a perfect bond to the paint. If you do what I say I promise you'll see a better finish.
You have helped me out on numerous occasions I really appreciate the time u spend in ur video helping people like me
Hey I'm glad the videos are helping you! That's what its all about!
I have a 2017 ultra used 3 years ago with some nice pin striping on it Will the process of removing the swirls mess up the striping?
This guys scooter turned out amazing! Let me know what you think!
Once again you put out the best information and videos. Thank you again. You sure help me out.
Hey Gary! Glad this helped you brother! Any questions please feel free to ask. This can save you a ton of money doing it yourself.
On a very bad surface like this, I usually use by hand Trizact 5000 sandpaper and a nano rotoorbilal polisher.
Normally I would but this guy has had paint correction done so many times now I cant imagine it having much more clear coat left on it.
I'm with you i think that attitude comes from the fact that most folks dontt own the bike
Bro, yet another AWESOME detail video and great product review for the KW line. Any tips for those of us with Denim bikes? Cheers!

Thank you for letting me know...amazon sellers always changing links on me hard to keep up but thank you! Ill check it out and fix them.

Looks great!
Thank You Jerry!
Great quick video bro. I agree always try to do less abrasive product first.
Thanks man! Yeah I see it all the time...guys grabbing the most abrasive stuff first...always good to start in the middle and see which way you need to go from there.
Steve yer the (not a) detail champ. What about these new fangled sealers? Thanks. Your vids are tops

Thanks for the video.
You are welcome!
Great job! I’ve been told a from a custom bike builder Harley’s factory clear coat is junk any thoughts?
Thank you man! I haven't personally had any issues with the clear on HD bikes....really no more than any other bike honestly but im not a painter either lol
Maybe ceramic coat after the polish
What brand pads. Are u using
Is that a harbor freight dual action polisher an when using them I heard that you should use the product till it's almost clear or is that with just polisher

I went to the killerwaxx website and did not see the claybar? Where can I get that and do you guys sell a kit with just the product in this video?

do you ever use an iron remover before you clay bar?
If it's bad enough
In my opinion a 3" pads on a polisher works best to buff and polish a bike.
Rob Buchanan, What about the harley denim paint? Do you have any advise
on that?
No I do not, Sorry.
Hey Rob! You are correct sir. the 3" work great for bikes. I never really found a decent one that would last me...What you working with?

Hey Steve, I went to the site and almost everything shows "sold out" for the killerwaxx products.
Pete Lanzone hey Pete I talked to Ron last night and he is patiently waiting on a restock order from the main place out in cali. He said to check back in a week and hopefully everything will be back in stock. I need some blue dream paste myself and I seen that was out of stock too...

Cool.. !
I have a Harbor Freight
Plastics hold the color. Its not paint? Its the plastic itself.
