Harley Davidson 883 Sportsline

[Optimus Prime]

So after lots of practice, on my own bike, I got asked to do first officially paid detail on a Harley Davidson 883 Sportline based on the success I have had on my own bike, so thought I would give it ago although had no ideal how bad the bikes condition was actually going to be, until it arrived!!!

1st Problem, checkers packet stuck and melted onto chrome exhaust, left for three or four weeks to reheat and cool multiple times

2nd the bike was very dirty, the chrome dull, the aluminium faded and lacking luster, and the bike was full of swirls, spider webs, scratches and some stuff I don't think theirs even detailing terms for lol

Anyway cracked on, here are a few of the before shots I took, and of course the end result, please note this was a complete hand polish, wax and swirl removal process as I don't have a DA yet, but hoping to have one soon...
