Yes, I do bikes! This 2006 Heritage Softail was booked to have the paint improved and the chrome protected. The chrome on this bike was exquisite and I was delighted to see how the CQuartz Finest made it glow. Please check out the write up and the pics below: http://www.live2detail.com/showthread.php?6075-Harley-Heaven-2006-Heritage-Softail Check out the pic to the left and observe the scratches visible around the light as well as the water spots that had etched deeply into the clear coat layer of paint. This car took some considerable effort to turn around. Its headlights had also been damaged by the dealer trying to "fix" them. I was able to repair the lenses completely. Check out the writeup of the work that went into this restoration: http://www.live2detail.com/showthread.php?6069-2009-FX50S-Very-Hard-Paint!&p=74609#post74609 This car was brought to me for a complete, wheels-off, paint perfection detail followed by my best coating, namely CQuartz Finest. Check out the writeup for the 20+ hours that went into making this car just ROCK! http://www.autogeekonline.net/forum/show-n-shine/81281-black-beauty-2012-challenger.html |
