Motorcycle Detailing with Cycle Finish Synthetic Products

1. Wash motorcycle with CYCLE FINISH SPRAY WASH & ENHANCER
   Make sure cycle is cool to the touch! Wet entire motorcycle before washing. Spray wash & enhancer on entire motorcycle. Use soft cloth or wash mitt on heavy bugs or dirt, but for just the usual riding film let CYCLE FINISH SPRAY WASH & ENHANCER work on surfaces for 1-2 minutes. On heavy grease such as rims, tires, belt or chain drive areas we recommend Liqui-Tech’s #421 MPC. Unlike ordinary organic soaps that spot and stain, CYCLE FINISH SPRAY WASH and #421 will rinse sparkling clean. Make sure rim and tire areas are cool to touch!!! Wet this area with water then spray CYCLE FINISH SPRAY WASH or #421 (which ever is needed) then rinse clean!!
2. Prep motorcycle’s paint surface with FINISH PREP if surface debris is present
   Use FINISH PREP Precleaner to remove organic wax or glaze residue, bugs and tar, surface contaminants, or if applicable, light scratch marks and stains. Apply FINISH PREP to applicator pad or soft cloth. Two half-dollar sized drops will clean approx 1 sq. ft. area. Massage FINISH PREP into this 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.
3. Apply CYCLE FINISH POLISH/FINISH to painted areas
   Place 1 dime sized drop of CYCLE FINISH POLISH on clean cloth or applicator pad. Wipe onto an approx 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 well 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.
4. Clean and protect seats, saddlebags, tires, and black powdercoat engine areas.
   For leather on seats and saddle bags that are heavily soiled or have oily residue from silicone organic products use #421 MPC cleaner. After cleaning apply Liqui-Tech’s LVR PROTECTANT WITH LANOLIN. This non silicone sun blocking product will not attract dirt and contaminants and renews the look and feel of leather. Being a non oil product it is safe to use on tires without fear of damage. On black powder coated engines use CYCLE FINISH ENGINE ENHANCER & PROTECTOR to enrich and protect these areas from dirt, dust, UV rays, and contaminants. ENGINE EHNHANCER & 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 cool engine, wipe off excess from chrome and surrounding areas, but do not wipe off of engine!! Let air dry to create a durable protection with lasting enhancement.
5. Clean windshield (never use petroleum or solvent based cleaners!!)
   For motorcycle windshield cleaning use Liqui-Tech’s 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 and film. Turn towel over with each wipe to completely dry the surface. When WINDOW FINISH dries, apply a quick buff to bring a sparkle and slickness to windshield without streaks and smears. Now it will resist even fingerprints!!!
6. Clean & Protect metal surfaces
   If spots, stains, or cloudiness is present on wheels, chrome, aluminum, or plated parts apply Liqui-Tech’s METAL FINISH POLISHING CREAM. This non-abrasive enzymatic cleaner removes contaminants and dullness without scratching!!. Works great on removing melted boot and rain suits from exhaust systems. Once surface is clean apply Liqui-Tech’s CUSTOM WHEEL AND METAL PROTECTOR to create a durable, glossy shield that protects against future buildup of damaging contaminants. Applying multiple coats of CUSTOM WHEEL AND METAL PROTECTOR will add increased gloss and protection for all metal surfaces. Like CYCLE FINISH POLISH if METAL PROTECTOR is allowed to cure longer the easier it is to wipe off.
7. Removing CYCLE FINISH POLISH/FINISH
   After the minimum 1 hr. has passed, remove CYCLE FINISH POLISH 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.
8. For handy quick cleanup and enhancement use
   FINISH FAST SPRAY!! FINISH FAST is excellent for paint or chrome to remove dust, bugs, and fingerprints. FAST will enhance gloss and shine to give a “just polished look”. This non-silicone formula can be used in direct sunlight without fear of streaks or smears. Watch bugs just wipe off using FINISH FAST !!!!!!

These steps will give your motorcycle the superior appearance that only LIQUI-TECH products can provide.
