98BlackSierra Posted August 11, 2016 Share Posted August 11, 2016 My buddy is selling his bike so he called me over to detail it before he threw it on Craigslist. The paint on my bike is flawless so he must have noticed lol. His bike maybe gets washed once a month or so and that's just a wipe down. His reaction was priceless. I used : HD motorcycle soap Rain X bug degreaser Adams Big Blue clay bar Adams Pumpkin Spice detail spray Adams Butter Wax b_pappy and Black Bowtie 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
blcksilv08 Posted August 11, 2016 Share Posted August 11, 2016 Nice looking bike, turned out good. I like to put Brilliant Glaze on the chrome sometimes after hitting it with Revive on the few bikes I've done. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
98BlackSierra Posted August 11, 2016 Author Share Posted August 11, 2016 Actually I sprayed detail spray on the chrome and it brought out the shine fairly well. blcksilv08 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
gabhart Posted August 11, 2016 Share Posted August 11, 2016 (edited) Did you use the detail spray before the wax? Edited August 11, 2016 by gabhart 98BlackSierra 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
wely324 Posted August 11, 2016 Share Posted August 11, 2016 That bike looks great! Brilliant glaze is awesome on chrome, I normally polish it up first with metal polish. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
98BlackSierra Posted August 11, 2016 Author Share Posted August 11, 2016 I used the detail spray after I waxed it Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
98BlackSierra Posted August 18, 2016 Author Share Posted August 18, 2016 This is kind of unrelated to the detail I did on the bike, but I didn't want to open another thread just to ask a question. I'm about ready to detail the g/f's Impala SS, just waiting for my pole barn to be finished so I can take my time. Obviously, I'm using Adam's Car Shampoo and Wash Pad, but after I clay it with my Big Blue Clay bar, what would you guys recommend? I was going to use Adam's Revive, and then H20 Guard & Gloss or the Butter Wax. Does that sound right to you guys or should I go a different route?

You could go that route but since you are claying I would probably use liquid paint sealant. H2O G&G works best to maintain sealed paint, it works good alone but best on top of a sealant. Buttery would work as well, just not an extended period of protection. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
