When it comes to Motorcycle Detailing Brisbane it is important to choose a professional detailer who knows what they are doing. These professionals use specialized products and tools to get the job done.
Cleaning
Keeping your motorcycle clean and free of dirt, dust, bugs, and grime is essential for maintaining your bike’s performance. Cleaning your motorcycle can be an easy job if you have the right tools and know what you’re doing.
Step One: Begin by moving your bike to a cool, protected area away from direct sunlight. If you’re washing your bike on a hot day, the soap will dry too quickly, leaving streaks and water spots.
Next, get a bucket of water and a sponge or rag ready. Mix a solution of soapy water and motorcycle cleaner, then spray down your bike.
Work your way up and down the bike, starting with the windshield, mirrors, and fairings. After each area, rinse your rag or sponge with clean water.
When you’re done, it’s important to let your motorcycle air dry. This will help prevent future issues, such as corrosion or rust.
Polishing
Motorcycle detailing is the perfect way to keep your bike looking its best and protect it from future damage. It’s also a great way to ensure the highest resale value when it comes time to sell your bike.
During your detailing process we polish all painted surfaces to remove swirls and fine scratches for an even shine. For heavily chromed bikes, such as Harley Davidson cruisers, we take extra care to provide a high luster polish for the best look.
The right polish should be powerful enough to clean out dust and dirt but gentle enough not to strip away the delicate layers of paint or metal.
Finish First Cycle Finish is an easy-to-use, synthetic polish that cleans without scratching and leaves a durable showroom quality shine in one easy step. The polymer molecules chemically bond to all metal surfaces and fill in microscopic pores. It resists tar, bugs, tree sap, oil/gas, acid rain, road salt, and other environmental contaminants.
Waxing
Waxing your motorcycle is a great way to protect the paint from the elements. It also provides an extra shine.
To get the best waxing results, use a high-quality carnauba or polymer wax. Apply it evenly, over all of the fine lines and curves of your bike’s paint.
When you’re done, rinse thoroughly and let the bike dry before applying lubricant to the chain. This step is important because it will help the wax adhere to your chain, keeping it clean and reducing friction.
Before you wax your bike, make sure to remove any leather seat covers or saddlebags and wipe them down thoroughly. This will ensure that they don’t become damaged by the chemicals in the wash solution.
Sealing
One of the best ways to keep a motorcycle looking its best is to use a good sealant. This can be done with natural carnauba wax or a synthetic polymer sealant.
Redline Hyper Seal seals bright and shiny paintwork, glossy plastic fairings, and polished metals to keep them clean from dirt and road grime. It also protects them from fading in harsh sunlight and airborne pollution.
The sun bleaches the brightest colors found on motorcycle parts, and it distorts and fades their clarity. Harmful UVA and UVB rays damage plastics, cause microcracks that rust, and accelerate premature wear.
This is why it’s important to find a good quality sealant that is fuel resistant. It’s also a good idea to look for one that is durable and long-lasting.
