Advice needed
I posted this in the detailing forum but had no replies.
I am usually very good at keeping my truck or bike looking top notch. I have been using the Griots garage clay, polish, waxing system with the random orbital polisher. My results are usually amazing with this equipment.
I am a little obsessive about the clarity and finish of my paint. However I have an "issue" that I am having trouble correcting. I can polish and wax everything on my bike but am having trouble removing some very, slight clear coat scratches. These scratches are only visible in direct light. They run down the right side of the tank, next to the console. I assume my polisher, which has a 6" pad, is not getting that area very well due to the console getting in the way. Everything else on the bike looks great.
I need advice on the best way to get these slight scratches removed. Should I loosen and move the console for better polisher access? Anyone else probably would not see them but, like I said, I am a little nuts about my paint finish and I know there are there.
Thanks,
Mark
