I know what you mean, when I detail my Nightrain even on a day when I'm being super picky will only take me an hour and a half, max!!

Being a "Chrome *****" does come at a price, that's for sure! People say I am crazy and get on me sometimes but to do a complete job on my bike, wash, dry, wax and detail is a solid 8 hours. I enjoy it at times though and it's nice to have people gather around it when I pull up to one of the Ol watering holes!
