Sweet!

Uh-oh...you missed a few spots. You didn't use Q-Tips in those nooks-n-crannies.

I used a soft bristle tooth brush. All nooks & crannies shine!

Sure. For a fee. The guy here in town that everyone takes their bikes to for detailing charges $300. I'll do yours for $295.

Just did mine too.
Wet down then used bug remover
Blow dry
Pig Spit the motor/trans
Clay
Hand applied scratch/swirl remover
Carnuba wax including around all the recessed bolts
Chrome cleaner wax
Than head to toe paint/chrome sealant.
That took almost 2 days, and she sits covered in the garage

Washed mine last week, but you'd never know it. It's got about 500 miles worth of bugs on it again.
I try to get out for a ride every day after work , even if it's only 50 or 60 miles . Usually manage to squeeze a hundred miles or so of rural back roads though, hence the bugs.
