Lots of different brushes
I washed the Bike with ONR. Polished all chrome with #0000 Steel wool, blew off all the particles with this cool lil blower the owner had. SCGD used on parts of the engine and calipers, various brushes and MF towels used to aggitate. MS SGS on wheels, MF towels ued to clean. Sprayed the entire bike with ONR a QD dilution with pressure sprayer wiped with Shag rag dried with Vroom. Polished all metal with Meg Hot Rims. I polished by hand the rear fender but I did not like the results. So I used PC, 4" flat LC white pad with M205. Primed the pad with 205 using my hand and a MF towel. 2 small dots on the pad speed 6 with some pressure I polished, then backed down to speed 3.5 with just the weight of the PC. I did this on all the paint I could get to. The areas I polished by hand I used Meg Yellow foam pads and Meg UC followed by M205. 1st layer of FK 1000p put on the paint. DG 501 applied to chome and metal. Wiped off FK 1000p, applied second layer, wiped off DG 501. Waited and cleaned up. Wiped off FK 1000p. Applied Wet Obsession Wax, buffed off. Then Used OOS on areas that were difficult to reach. Seat was washed with ONR damped MF and dried.

Awesome job man. When you do that big truck, if you have some, I strongly recommend hitting it with some Danase Wet Glaze. Just imagine the wetness and depth you will get if you use DWG and top it with the Wet Obsession.

Awesome man!

What jack are you using and how does it hold?

Thanks guys. The plan of attack on the SS is headlight resto, 1 step on paint (Im probably going with M205 as there are some minor swirls only), Finish Kare 1000p, Danase Wet glaze then wet obsession. The owner is willing to pay more to have a coat of a long lasting sealant, I really like FK 1000p, looks great, last, easy on and off and once it is buffed off you can layer or top it.
Im sorry Bob I have no idea what jack it is, it was the owners. He has the toys and the toys for the toys. I pulled up in his driveway and the bike was jacked up under a canopy. The jack was great I can say that, it held the bike perfect as I washed, used steel wool, scrubbed with brushes and polished.
