Love detailing motorcycles! Great video guys!
Thanks David! What do you like about it:) I found it incredibly tedious lol. -Nick
and every time a bubble of foam bursts, an angel gets its wings 😁
lol you know it!
MORE MOTORCYCLE DETAILING CONTENT PLEASE. Caps intentional... this was awesome. Personally, I enjoy cleaning my Aprilia even more than my car or van. Do you have any videos detailing a sport bike? A couple times a year, I go so far as to strip off the fairings, and remove the wheels to give my bike a crazy deep clean.
More to come
You guys are the best 👏👏👏
Thank you
Continue making great videos
Thank you
Great video guys! You work so well together on camera and that Harley looked incredible 👌🏻
Thank you
Very good video thank you 🎉
Glad you enjoyed it!
This is perfect timing. I have a friend's Harley FLHTKL Limited to do a full detail & coating next weekend. I have a few ?'s...
1. After pre-soak with All-Clean and rinse, I'm thinking that your Rinsless, sprayed out of a foam sprayer, would get in between the engine fins and crevices better than the incredible suds foam would. What do you guys think? Rinseless or foam it?
2. Is your DIY Coating heat resistant to where I can install it on headers and chrome exhaust pipes?
3. Will it even bond well to chrome with chrome not being porous like clear is?
4. Without a door jamb to take a paint depth gauge reading, how can one estimate the amount of microns of clear are avail. on tank & other paint.
5. If it has the rear trunk & hard side bags, what's the best way to coat the trunk, remove it, or leave it on?
Thanks for the questions.
1 your choice
2 yes
3 our metal coating is a better choice
4 it’s extremely thin, use caution.
5 yes remove them.
Great questions!
Great video! I’m getting ready to my best friend’s 120th anniversary edition Harley, full clean and ceramic! I wonder if MJJC would make a limited edition incredible suds logo foam cannon?! 😊 Another idea how to clean an e-bike? Ty as always!
Have fun with the HD!
What a great video! Really loved how you explained every step, in detail. I wanted your opinion on ACF-50. I have seen some videos using it as a last step for rust prevention. Also, you mentioned not to get quick beads on the seat, do we also need to avoid the breaks with this particular product? Many Thanks
ACF 50 is for corrosion on electrical components. DIY Detail Quick Beads is fine on brakes, the first few seconds of application wears it off.
@diydetailofficial I am grateful for the reply. Thank you so very much and have a lovely day.
I want to see a wash and talk with a full detail from start to finish on a Harley using a Rinseless wash
Good idea.
Nice video, thanks. What is a good method or product to keep seat soft and pliable. Seat on my bike is has some sections that are stiff and I found small tear on a seam. I saw some recommendations online to rub on mineral oil to soften vinyl.
Use a good leather conditioner.
I'm going to detail my first bike next week. Would this method be better/easier than doing a rinseless wash?
Your choice
So did y’all use r/o water for the whole detail or just to rinse off the quick beads, with the pressure washer what kind of water did y’all use regular ?
We only used the RO for the final rinse.
What do you guys think about using an air brush to spray on ceramic coating? For those tough to reach or small areas
Not unless you’re in a paint booth with full hazmat ppe. Coatings are very toxic when they get on your skin.
I’m assuming it’s not an issue but just want to confirm that you can machine wash and dry the drip catcher towel?
Yes,you can
Last question on spraying ceramic, I promise. 😄 When sprayed, will the coating (metal or regular) self-level? Can I spray it with my airbrush and leave it on the fins and hard to reach chrome parts and leave to dry, self-level, without wiping? I would still be hand applying as usual to the larger reachable parts. Thanks for all your advice as I wrap up my first Harley correction & coating.
I wouldn’t spray a coating unless you’re wearing a full PPE suit, and in a paint booth. Coatings are easily absorbed into the skin. When I see videos of Detailers applying coatings with a cheap mask, in short sleeves I feel sorry for them, it’s a very real health risk when they are atomized so finely. For the engine etc, apply DIY Detail Quick Beads everytime you wash.

@DIY Detail I do have all the necessary PPE, including the suit with hood and commercial quality, OSHA approved, 3M dual cartridge respirator & goggles/gloves. I'm only spraying the main block area in under a minute, but yes, I will be fully protected. So in my situation, can you still let me know if your metal coating will self-level after spraying or need wiped? 🤔 I hold you & DIY Detail harmless and assume & accept full responsibility for my actions & alternative application of the product. 🤓
We have never sprayed it, but it will need to be wiped
@DIY Detail Thanks Yvan, I'll send ya an action shot when I'm all suited up.🙂
Thank you
You're welcome
Well Ivan , im inpressed. But a black out HD is so easy to clean. Maybe take it to the next level and detail a Chromed bike like a boxer engine, that is very difficult to clean…👍🏽
Are you volunteering your bike?
umm what about the two bucket method when you are doing the contact wash??? or you guys using a new part of cloth in every wipe ??
No need for 2 buckets when foaming twice.
I have a bottle of your Metal ceramic coating on its way to coat paint & chrome on a 2015 Harley Limited. I've seen others (DPC) spray their ceramic coating using a gravity fed, air brush sprayer with a .5mm or 1mm tip to get in-between all the cooling fins & engine nooks & crannies. Can I do the same with your Metal ceramic & would I need to wipe between all the fins to level or just leave it? All the other larger areas I would apply by hand applicator & level as usual. And being only driven during summer months in OH, could he realistically expect 4+ yrs. coating longevity with proper care? Thanks for all your help & awesome products!
You can, but spraying any ceramic coating is very dangerous for your health.
Yes, 4 years or much more.
@@diydetailofficial Awesome...yes, I have organic vapors painting respirator while spraying.
You need full skin protection as well. Spraying a ceramic coating is not to be taken lightly.
@@diydetailofficial Thats why you guys rock! Would one of those white paint suits from HDepot work or do I need to visit my local automotive paint supply?
Go to your local PBE
I charge tripple for a bike...Noone wants to bring me their bike :D
Question: You guys used quick beeds on the Exhaust too...Am Heat = trouble?
Heat isn’t an issue, yes DIY Detail Quick Beads everything!
What about the chain? Anything specific for that?
Refer to the manufacturer’s instructions.
For everyone who details on here, Im interested in starting a part time motorcycle detailing service, do you have insurance for yours? If so, who did you go with company wise? And if you don’t mind me asking how much a year do you pay?I’m in Georgia and there are so many motorcyclists around here.
Check with a local insurance broker
@@diydetailofficial is it considered “general insurance”?
Garage keepers
❤️❤️❤️
🙏🏻🙏🏻🙏🏻
A lift makes cleaning the wheels much easier. Take the seat off to clean the sandy grit that is on the battery and fender.
Lifts are nice, which one do you use?
@@diydetailofficial I just have a cheap one that doesn't even have wheels. Nicer ones are available several places, Harley dealers, Harbor Freight, etc.
If you do not have distilled water, could you add rinseless wash to your sprayer?
Sorry I don’t understand the question:)
@@diydetailofficial Add a rinseless wash solution to your sprayer if you do not have distilled water?
Yes that will help in drying and preventing water spots, but unlike using distilled water you will need to towel dry.
@@diydetailofficial Thanks!
Our pleasure.
Could Interior ceramic be applied to the seat?
Yes
Motorcycle stereos and speakers aren’t typically “marine grade”. Be as careful with audio/visual/dash/ control components as air cleaner. Pressure washers operate at a bit higher pressure than rain water hitting a bike.
True
why not cover the pod with seran wrap or some sorta bag .. and THEN the towel ? after the wash and the beed wierd stuff spray u put on there .. shows the perfect reason why i try to wash my bike in the rain :D .. and if not possible .. i have a collector in the garden for all that lovely lime free water
Do what works for you:)
If you are polishing industrial hard chrome what do you suggest?
A dedicated metal polish, and to protect DIY Detail Metal Coating.
0000 steel wool
Just did a Harley Davidson yesterday what a coincidence haha
Nice! What was your process?
@@diydetailofficial all clean pre-rinse followed by Rinseless wash and some brushes! I had 1 happy customer thanks to your products. 🔥
Thank you sir!
@@diydetailofficial no, thank YOU 🤙🏼
Is it safe to use the iron spray on harley-davidson's
Yes
Why not contact wash with a mitt?
You csn
First nice something I have never done yet
Whaatsss !?
@@mariosantiago8931 😄😄no he tocado motoras
@@1stfrompuertorico568
Lo que pasa con las motoras ès que los dueños las cuidan bien y ellos mismos la detallan , y como da tanto trabajo pues casi nunca la llevan a un detailer profesional...🇵🇷☕🇺🇸
@@mariosantiago8931 Sí, eso depende del dueño y casi ninguno lo trae para hacerle una mejor protección hasta el momento que se dan cuenta de tanto daño que tiene para a lo mejor exhibirla o venderla.😄😄
Cool video guys!
As a pro detailer, what would a cleaning to this extent cost? I’m considering a new career and I know detailing my bike can take longer than my SUV’s exterior some days.
Pete.
This was a minimum $1500 service
@@diydetailofficial thank you so much for sharing that. I think those similar numbers in my head but then wonder if there is a market for it… I’m sure there is, but that’s a big number in my head. This wasn’t even a dresser, no bags to remove or clean no side covers, even the seat off a ultra or street glide adds another 1/2just to remove and reinstall, that’s not even adding cleaning there. I’ve never had my bike detailed, I do that each winter when I can’t ride. The dealer calls it a detail when they clean it after a service… then I go home and clean up their cleaning! LOL. They charge $25 to do a S100 spray and rinse. It’s a great product, but I can get 3jobs out of a can and it costs me less to by the product and I finish the cleaning up with a wash and dry after I do it. That’s just maintenance after a ride or before I go somewhere I want it to shine!
I appreciate your time guys and find myself somewhat addictive to your channels. I found my way to TSO in Vaughan last week and bought a starter pack of DIY supplies to start playing with. Great job with the products and videos! You really are making a difference.
Pete
Thanks Pete.
@@diydetailofficial1500 USD? What lol I do better than that myself
@joshuaramos9676 Right. For $1500, I'll just skip a few washes and buy a brand new bike.
I would just be careful washing around the fork seals with a pressure washer.
Agreed, our pressure washer is adjustable
I hear you talking, but that foaming and pressure washing just looks so potentially destructive. It scares me.
No fear, it’s actually safe
You know I never gad the common sense to realize they ride through rain lol. Ive always been deathly afraid to wash a motorcycle.
No fears
A lot of people say pressure washer is bad for motorcycle…?
True
Why tyre dressing is not needed in a motorcycle ? 🙂❤️
Makes the tires slippery causing potential accidents, safe first!
Exactly
So you don’t do anything at all to dress the tires?
Yes, but just not in this video.
Then u go ride for 20 minutes and it's full of bugs again. Lol
Why it's nice to have an older bike.
Oh well.
Adding a ceramic coating will make them easier to clean off.
Awful editing crew
We strive to improve
🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥
🙏🏻🙏🏻🙏🏻🙏🏻🙏🏻🙏🏻
Just a bit of a tip. Most open filters on harleys come with a rain sock. Next time use that to better protect to filter. It should withstand the force of a waterhose but not anything more powerful than that.
Thank you
