Default Crappy weather = Detail day





I polished all the paint and laid down some Polishangel cosmic coating. Now I just need the weather to clear so I can go dirty her up

Sweet! All I did was dirty mine today. A good bath is in the near future though.

Looking good gents! We can’t clean them if they’re not dirty!

Nice job! Polish Angel makes some awesome stuff, I have on my bike also. PA is sort of a "Boutique" product.
Also, what pad and machine did you use? What polish? Did you use Primer first?
If you got money burning a hole in your pocket try High Gloss on top of cosmic.INSANE GLOSS!! Its a lot of money but it really amped up the gloss on mine and the water sheeting is awesome.

I need to get on mine. It's starting to look a little shabby.

I grabbed my rupes mini for the whole job. I used a rupes blue pad and polished with PA master final polish, then followed with primer (paste, not spray), layered 2 coats of cosmic v2. I topped it with cosmic gloss spray and will go back tmrw for a coupe layers of high gloss. PA is definitely boutique but it produces some great results. I’ve got almost a whole shelf of different PA goodies. I got a little carried away a couple years ago

You’re in Florida, you get a pass. Riding is more important than cleaning - most times
