Its almost 8 years of my extreme. Has run 1 lacs+ kms. Love it to core. Runs so smooth,efficiently and pulls great. But last year with some personal incidents and all and marriage maintenance toom backseat and only required work was only done.

No polishing and no waxing. And parking outside at office caused the paint to oxidise and develop swirl and scratches.

Everyday i watch chemical guys, jp detail, topaz detail and all channels. Love all detailing videos.

But was not getting time for extreme. So this sunday got time for detailing extreme. And i like to do detailing myself.

So i decided to follow these steps for proper detailing.

1. Washing of bike thoroughly and making it spic and span.
2. Feel the paint, if it feels rough or abrasive claying is required. Mine didn't need it.
3. Used a 2k rubbing or compounding to remove oxidation and swirls. Also clean the paint.
4. Then used the polish to bring out the glaze and make the paint shine.
5. Used wax to seal the paint. Caranuaba wax.
6. Used plastic and vinyl dresser to gloss the matt black portion
7. Used liqui moly tyre dresser for tyres and rubber parts.

So lets look at the paint condition.

Paint has become horrible.


So products used

1: waxpol 2k rubbing compound.
One of the best products in market. Supreme easy to polish the paint and compound the top layer.
2. Sonax car polish
Contains micro polishing agents, lubricating oils and caranuaba wax.
3. Meguiars wax- A synthetic wax with caranuba wax. Gives the wet look and protects against dust, water and sun.
4. Waxpol- Dashboard and vinyl polis- Imparts the black look to matt black surfaces, clean the surfaces and protects against fading.
5. Liqui moly tyre dresser- cleans the tyre walls and gives a matt finish. Super easy to apply and wipe off. prolongs life of rubber parts.
6. 4 nos micro fiber towel- 2 nos was used for compounding. 1 was used for polishing, and one was used for final waxing.
7. Sponge and pads for applying and compounding.
8. A bucket with water to wet the pads during compounding and also cleaning pads while polishing.

So the process is as such.

Wet the applicator pad. Then squeeze it and just damp it. Not dripping wet. Just damp. Apply 2k rubbing compound on surface and polish the pad to surface.
Keep on polishing till it gets dry. Buff the surface. Use sufficient quantity on each panel.

Precautions:-
1. Be careful, this is cutting stage. Too agressive and you can cut the paint. It is the stage where expertise shows. Too much pressure and you damage the paint.
2. I use light or white microfiber towel. Can see how much paint and impurties has been cut.
3. Never polish with dry pad. Always keep the pad damp

Next step is polishing:-

1. Damp the pad and applying polishing liquid. Also apply a little on panel. polish the pad with light pressure in round circles while moving hand up and down. Mimic orbital polisher movement. Buff off with microfiber towel
2. Take care to make the pad damp and never dry it.
3. After 2k rubbing a little hazziness will appear. Polishing stage will clean the paint and shine it.

Next step is sealing the shine:

1. Its no use if we don't seal the shine against sun and rain.
2. We use wax or sealant. I like wax because it gives a wet look. Sealant are more like coating.
3. love the meguiars wax as it gives a wet look and provides long lasting shine

4. Finish the matt plastics with waxpol vinyl polish and tyres with tyre dresser from liqui moly

Took 3 hours for complete detailing.


A night ride on extreme with misses cleaned the mind.

Mine is at 71000. Might take another year to cross. Getting 55 KMPL (smooth riding). Tyres changed @ 42,000 (Both front and rear). No other complaints. will update shortly.

I recently purchased a used first generation hero honda hunk. Did a complete restore to the engine, changed tires, fixed the brakes and changed the meter assy, i am really impressed with the bike.

2.Xtreme/hunk/unicorn share the same camshaft. Majority of the engine parts can be interchangeably used.

Both Tyre Replaced with Michelin.
