NinjaNick Posted June 2, 2009 Report Share Posted June 2, 2009 Looks good!Man I wish I could fit on those little things. If I could I'd be dragging elbow. Those R6's are soooo small. I am missing out on a lot of fun from being to big for those little bikes. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

NinjaNick Posted June 2, 2009 Report Share Posted June 2, 2009 Honda Polish EVERYTHING!I've never sprayed my bike with anything from a hose. I get a bucket of hot water with a wash cloth. I wipe the bike down and wipe bugs off with the hot wash cloth while constantly dipping it in the bucket. Then dry or let dry. Then I get rid of all the water marks with the honda pro polish and that paint is slippery and shiny as can be. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Likwid Posted June 3, 2009 Report Share Posted June 3, 2009 So question on the Nanowax.... is it too late to try it? Seeing what I did today I'm not sure I'm going to notice a difference unless I strip the wax off again Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
FocusDave01 Posted June 3, 2009 Author Report Share Posted June 3, 2009 yeah you prob wouldnt notice it...its actually a spray but dries like a wax you would do the "wax on wax off method"..just try it next time you detail it... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Likwid Posted June 3, 2009 Report Share Posted June 3, 2009 yeah you prob wouldnt notice it...its actually a spray but dries like a wax you would do the "wax on wax off method"..just try it next time you detail it...I'll do that, I'm new to riding so I'll go overboard and ride a ton (already did my first 225 miles in 1 week without a daily commute) so next detail may be as soon as 1 month awayDid you use the same product on the Focus in the garage? Mind you, I think the bike looks stellar, really amazing... but so does the Focus.... so I'm curious if that is the same product. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
