Was the seat welded and could not be removed in order to clean and polish underneath? You can also clean the seat and protect it with some special products to keep it soft and prevent cracks.
Thanks for watching! No the seat can be removed, I just didn't remove it as part of this wash. I have done a more recent bike detail, where I remove the seat to polish. I did clean the seat but I don't like to add anything to the seat as you don't want the seat to become slippery as this could be dangerous.
Sorry, but if you want to really deep clean a bike with a fairing you have to take the fairing off. Also copious amounts of water is not a good idea. Even when you use a blower to get rid of all the water, it is really hard to get it out of all nooks and crannies. A bike is not a car. I have deep cleaned several fairing equiped bikes and it is a lot of work. It usually takes me about between 30 and 40 hours to do this. I never use water, I use the substance used for washing cars without water. I decrease the engine using petrol obviously with a tray under the engine to catch the petrol dripping down. I take out the wheels and remove the front discs. Otherwise it is difficult to really clean the spokes and hubs of a cast wheel. All frame and engine parts are treated using polishing oil (similar to the oil used to clean guns) and I polish and wax all plastic parts, wheels, dashboard. And off course clean and lubricate the chain (if it is a chain driven bike) with the proper means for that job. It is a hell of a job but very satisfying. Also, when brake calipers are really dirty, I take them off and usually totally refurbish them inside out. After all that you end up with a bike that really looks like new. There is a VFR in my shed that can testify for this.
Thanks for your comment! But this is a deep clean that the customers wanted. The owner wouldn't want me to take the bike apart so I didn't. Also you can use water, which is high pressure on a bike no problems at all. A bike is built to be used in all weather and can also be left out in all weathers. So washing it, is no problem at all with water. Each to their own but I've been washing bikes for many years like this 👍 obviously the clean you are doing is on your own bike, so you can take it apart as you please, but when you're doing it as a job for someone you have to get the job done quicker. I had this bike for 3 days to get the work all done 👍
@@the_jnlt_channel I understand that. but leaving the fairings on makes a deep clean impossible. And believe me I do ride most of my bikes also in the rain, I commute on my RT almost every day. Bikes do rust. I buy my bikes second hand. The RT is 22 years old with a very low mileage, yet there was surface rust on the rear frame. And I have had the same experience with Honda and Yamaha. Simply because owners do not take the plastics off and dry and clean behind them. If an owner really wants to have his bike deep cleaned he/she should be prepared to pay for it. I have cleaned, rust proofed and detailed older cars for over 20 years, I know all too well how dangerous water/moisture is. It is this experience that made me not to use water on bikes (also true for the pedal variety). But do not get me wrong, I do understand your reasoning. And do appreciate the video.
@@carsyoungtimerfreak1149 of course if you can't take the fairing off you can't do that part, but if it was my own bike I would of. Yeah the bikes can rust for sure but I do try to use acf50 when possible to help with this. Thanks for the comment and watching, I appreciate it 👍
Thanks for watching! Don't need to remove the plastics for it to be a full detail. If you don't like it move on, no need to comment with that. I look forward to your UA-cam video 👍

What degreaser do you recommend? Something that break grease down so it can be jetwash Ed straight off
@@TrulyUniqueOne bilt hamber touchless in a pump sprayer is very good or a type of TFR for really bad grease 👍

@@carsyoungtimerfreak1149🙄🙄
I would have starten with removing those ugly stickers first ! Or do they hide some damage?
@@marlondeleeuw9402 they hide some damage, so it looks better with the stickers then damage on show 👍

Bikes are a nightmare to do nice work 👍🏻
Yeah they are! Thank you 🙌
Don’t be lazy, take of all the plastic and clean underneath!!!!!
Not lazy at all, if the customer doesn't want you to take off the plastic you don't do it. Not my bike, so I do it as the owner wants it done 👍
Not even removing the plastics? full 'detail' which is basically a poncy word for a good clean, utter shite!
