Motorcycle Detailing With CYCLE FINISHâ Synthetic Products
Make sure cycle is cool to the touch! Wet entire motorcycle before washing. Spray CYCLE FINISH SPRAY WASH & ENHANCER on entire mororcycle. Use soft cloth or wash mitt on heavy bugs or dirt, but for just the usual riding film let Spray Wash & Enhancer work on all surfaces for 1 -2 minutes. For heavy greas on rims, tires, belt or chain drive area we recommend Liqui-Tech's #421 MPC. Unlike ordinary organic soaps that spot and stain, CYCLE FINISH SPRAY WASH and #421 MPC will rinse sparkling clean. Make sure tires and wheels are cool to the touch! Wet these areas with water then spray on CYCLE FINISH SPRAY WASH or #421 MPC (whichever is needed). Rinse entire motorcycle and dry thoroughly with a synthetic chamois cloth such as THE ABSORBER®.
Use FINISH PREP Precleaner to remove organic wax or glaze residue, bugs and tar, surface contaminants, or if applicable, stains and oxidation. Apply Finish Prep to applicator pad or soft cloth. Two half-dollar-sized drops will clean an approximately 1-sq. ft. area. Massage FINISH PREP into this 1-ft. area using light pressure only. FINISH PREP cleans by fluid emulsification; therefore hard rubbing or pressure is not needed. Remove with soft cloth while still wet to achieve maximum cleaning performance. Repeat over entire painted surface. *Note – never apply FINISH PREP to a hot surface to avoid uneven, premature drying of emulsifiers.
Place 1 dime-sized drops of CYCLE FINISH POLISH on clean cloth or applicator pad. Wipe onto an approximately 1-sq. ft. area using back and forth motion. Apply to entire motorcycle’s painted surface at one time. A thin, even application of CYCLE FINISH works best. Using thick coats is wasteful and will cause excess dust upon removal. Allow CYCLE FINISH to "cure" a minimum of 1 hour to overnight before removing. This important step allows for maximum durability as will as filling of fine scratches and swirl marks. During the curing phase, there is no such thing as "too long", but we recommend a minimum of 1 hour. While CYCLE FINISH is curing, use this time to clean seat, tires, windshield and other areas to complete the detailing process.
For leather on seats and saddlebags that are heavily soiled or have oily residue from silicone based or organic surface products, use Liqui-Tech #421 MPC. This multi-purpose cleaner deep cleans without leaving any residue that will actually attract dirt, thus leaving these areas cleaner longer. After cleaning apply LIQUI-TECH PROTECTANT With Lanolin. This non-silicone, sun blocking product will help repel dirt and contaminants and renew the look and feel of leather. Also, being oil-free it is safe to use on tires without fear of damage. On powdercoat engines use CYCLE FINISH ENGINE ENHANCER/PROTECTOR to enrich and protect these areas from dirt, dust, UV rays, and contaminants. ENGINE ENHANCER/PROTECTOR contains no silicone and will leave these surfaces clean and oil free. This product will not attract grit and grime like organic enhancing products!! Just mist on to cool engine. Wipe off excess from chrome and surrounding areas, but do not wipe off engine! Let air dry to create a durable protection with lasting enhancement.
For motorcycle glass cleaning and enhancement, use Liqui-Tech WINDOW FINISH. This ammonia-free formula cleans without streaks and smears associated with ordinary glass cleaners. Mist onto small area and wipe with soft cloth massaging to remove bugs, etc. Turn towel over with each wipe. When WINDOW FINISH dries, apply a quick buff to bring up sparkle and slickness to windshield, mirrors, lights and signal covers without film or haze.
If spots, stains or cloudiness is present on wheels, chrome, aluminum or plated parts, apply Liqui-Tech METAL FINISH Polishing Crème. This non-abrasive, enzymatic cleaner removes contaminants and dullness without scratching. Once surface is clean, apply Liqui-Tech CUSTOM WHEEL/METAL PROTECTOR to create a durable, glossy shield that protects against future buildup of damaging contaminants. Applying multiple coats of CUSTOM WHEEL/METAL PROTECTOR will add increased gloss and protection for all metal surfaces. Like CYCLE FINISH, if METAL PROTECTOR is allowed to cure longer the easier it is to wipe off and the better the results!
After the minimum 1 hr. has passed, remove CYCLE FINISH with soft cotton cloth. Simply wipe off haze to reveal a dazzling shine and unsurpassed paint protection. Additional gloss and protection can be achieved by adding multiple properly cured coats of CYCLE FINISH Polish/Finish.
These steps and techniques will give your motorcycle the superior appearance that only Liqui-Tech products can provide. For more information call us toll-free at 1-800-637-4527 or visit our Guestbook and see what others say about Cycle Finish and the entire product line!
