Re: Motorcycle Detailing Thread
Use a microfiber towel. You can buy it from 3M or online. Will cost 250 bucks upwards depending on the size. Use 2 towels : One for wet wiping and another for dry wiping.Originally posted by Motomonster View PostThe way you ride is the way you are..

Re: Motorcycle Detailing Thread
Thanks. If dust is present and if we wipe with mf towel then won't it cause scratches. Also is it not manageable with a banian for time being .Originally posted by Deathmate.Zed View PostUse a microfiber towel. You can buy it from 3M or online.

Re: Motorcycle Detailing Thread
Microfiber won't cause scratches that is why I suggested it. For everything jugaad can be applied, so you can use "banian" for the time being of course. Just ensure you do not wipe forcefully over the surface, especially if debris is present on the bike.Originally posted by Motomonster View PostThanks.

Re: Motorcycle Detailing Thread
You cannot remove a scratch from Plastics- but you can use a composite based resin - filler gel and dye that needs to be mixed at the right proportions and then used to cure the plastic(needs an oven too) Might be expensive but works on some Vintage parts that are no longer in production or be moulded.Originally posted by adithya.mv View PostHi guys.. There is n number of solutions to remove scratch in metal parts. But is there any way to remove scratches on the fiber/plastic parts?? These are also more prone to scratches in parking lots and can we restore the original finish to an level??Torquoholic

Re: Motorcycle Detailing Thread
I am a motorcycle broker and have detailed hundreds of bikes. Here are a couple of my favorite tricks:
Pledge furniture polish sprayed onto a rag (not directly onto the bike) is my universal go to cleaner. It handles 90+% of the cleaning quickly and efficiently.
0000 steel wool with WD40 takes rust off like nothing else.
Lift the back wheel and put it in neutral for full access to rear wheel, sprocket, and chain
Wd40 also cuts old chain lube in a heartbeat
A black sharpie felt pen is perfect for touching up black areas
A quality silicone dressing like SC1 is the perfect finishing touch to make the bike look new again. Don't get dressing on tire treads!!

Re: Motorcycle Detailing Thread
Hi bikers,
which product do you guys use to clean your ride's chrome and those shiny parts ?
My Classic's clutch cover case gets dirtier day after day.
I tried to book online like Autosol, but them websites charge a ton to deliver .
Please suggest me some good options.
Any idea where these items you could get ? will those things be available in automobile spare parts shop ?
I know a performance parts selling shop but i doubt they have these type of goods to sell.
I am from Coimbatore..if any XBHP-ian from CBE have any suggestions please help me

There are a lot of chrome polishing products available.
Meg's Nxt Metal, AutoSol, Brasso, Abro, Eagle One Never Dull, 3m Chrome and Metal Polish, Brite-O, Xado, InstaFinish, Collinite 850, Mothers, and a lot more.
Of all the products that I have tested and used - for Ease of usage and results I would rate BriteMax at the very top.
BriteMax offers excellent VFM and it would last for more than 50 bikes.
BriteMax comes with a twin pack - BriteMax Easy and BriteMax Final
Here are a few images that I have captured recently using BriteMax.
