Triumph StreetTriple & a Seat Leon Cupra R
Can you do my bike? yes. Can you do my Bike and my car, in the same day?! ugh, yes!
Busy one this! An hours drive saw me unloading the car at 8am. I had the Triumph bike to play with - to polish the plastics and generally lift, and the Seat LCR to perform an Enhancement and Protection detail on.. 8:30 -> 12 was spent working on the bike. 12 -> 7pm was spent working on the car.
Lets push things forward..
Triumph StreetTriple
Process & Product
The main task I was given for the bike was to remove the scruff/scratches on the petrol tank where the riders leathers had caught and scuffed them quite badly (going in next week to have the protective shield put over it)
1. Strip the bike down where possible
2. Clean/degrease bike body
3. Polish plastics & petrol tank
4. Seal wheels
5. Wax all plastics/shiny surfaces

The whole thing was covered in swirls.
As said, first thing, was to strip down the plastics and take them away from the heat for polishing.
All other areas on the bike in the meantime were cleaned, and, britework received a coat of Werkstat PRIME.
Heres the underside plastics..
Once clean, showing its true swirlage:
