Honda CBR 600 RR Detail

[Scrooge]

So my mates had this bike for a while and he's absolutely smitten with it. however it's never been treated to a proper clean or polish so the paint was faded and swirled to f**k.

How it arrived at the unit...

So yer, pretty hanging. He did a Scotland trip in July and that's the last time it see a wash and he uses it everyday!!!

Quick spray over and left to dwell as usual...

Did my usual wheel was with AF Imperial...

It took a few hits with an undiluted mixture but that was to be expected!!

Valet Pro Snow foam just becuase I like the foam, look at his happy little face with all that snow, bless...

HUBIKOTE!!! shampoo for the wash...

Then after that I attacked the greasy bits with AF Verso, foamed then washed again....

Usual Decon process, Iron X (surprsingly didn't really need much), TarX then Bilt Hamber clay...

Then on to correction! Only one step due to time constraints...

Then prep'd with AF Tough Prep...

Then a sample from this months Waxybox, great easy to use product !

Then plastics, topped of with AF Dressle, really like this new product. ( I even did my laptop with it!!) I was going to test it with CarPro Perl but not really enough plastics on the bike to do a fair test. It was a great introduction for me. Really easyto use and great results, feels bloody lovely!!!!

Metal attacked with the Waxybox sample Britemax metal twins, really nice products will sell how well it seals with time...

Then finished! Shiny...

Was nice to do something different, as normal I wanted more time but couldn't The wheels need a refurb, rim tape gone and new plates. Very nice bike though, great fun...

Thanks Auto Finesse for the Dressle, lovely product!!!

Great work mate.

I'm a bike man myself & love seeing the bike detailing threads pop up

 

[Jay.S]

Good work.

Lovely bike looks much better with the seat cowl on. Fresh plate would finish it off.

 

[Scrooge]

Thanks

Plate was absolutely f**ked, he's changing that and getting the wheels refurbed and then in the summer we are going to strip the panels off and do a proper ceramic sealant job on them.

I agree the seat cowl looks a lot better, only had the actualy seat on because I was riding pillion. Awful pillion bike lol

Really like these CBR's

What did you use for correction, my Suzuki seems pretty soft.

 

[Dave..]

Needs tyre shine, otherwise good transformation

 

[Jay.S]

Tyre shine on a bike is far to dangerous.

Out of interest what pad did you use?

 

[Coby.]

Great results.... I really want an RR when I finally get a bike license.

soft ft isn't the word! Rear cowling was unlacquered too.

I used Menz 4000 to get that correction so that's how soft it was.

Hahaha!

I used a spot pad throughout, I *think* it was of Menz orange.

He took a new one out the other week for an hour and come back very disappointed.

Great job mate. Hope you lubed his chain! I test rode a Fireblade but ended up buying a 09 R1 14B (Big Bang). Bikes are so complex to detail. Takes me longer on the bike than the car.

 

[Scrooge]

The chain was completely degreased and relubed by him

Youre right, I could've spent so much longer on it! I enjoyed the time I had with it though.
