Skinny B’s Motorcycle Detailing

Happy Monday!

Peek this Electra Glide that came in for a full detail and coating last week 👀 These older blue pearl colors are really growing on me!

It was a challenge to get this one done in the heat. The garage was damn near 100 degrees during the day 🥵

Full wash and detail. 2-Step Correction with Menzerna 300 and 2800. Coated with CarPro D.Quartz GO.

Some bikes just clean up more nicely than others. This was one of them.

Back at it!

This 2005 Road King was in for a premium detail package this week. First time working on this color too. For a 19 year old bike, I think the shine came out pretty good 🤙🏻

FYI - No bikes this week. I took the week off to get caught up on other things. My sister is also getting married this weekend as well! I’ll be back at it next week though, so stay tuned. As always, thank you for the continued support! ~ Skinny B

20+ year old paint on this one! It’s a 2004 Electra Glide frame that the owner turned into a tastefully modded Street Glide. Standard Detail Package. 2-Step Paint Correction. Coated with Gyeon Pure Evo.

Update: As some of you know, this isn’t my full time job. It’s a hobby that was born out of passion and a love for motorcycles. Between my full time job, private practice, and detailing, I’ve been putting in about 75+ hours a week over the last couple of months. I’m exhausted but knowing I’m making a small difference whether it be through therapy or detailing is what makes this all worth it.

In the midst of the craziness lately, I decided to treat myself and get started on another childhood dream of mine. I used to watch all of the chopper and bike shows during the late 90s and early 2000s. Indian Larry, Billy Lane, Jesse James, OCC, etc. I admired their craftsmanship and the bikes they created. I dreamed about creating and owning an old school chopper of my own.

Well, fast forward 25+ years and here we are! I am now the proud owner of a beautiful 1973 Super Glide FX. I have a vision for this bike and with the help of some skilled friends, I’m super stoked to get started on it. I’ll be posting some updates on the progress along the way, so stay tuned! ~ Skinny B

This 2015 Ultra Limited got the diamond package treatment. Full detail, 3 step paint correction with Menzerna polishes on Lake Country pads, and coated with Aquatek Select. The chrome was polished with Flitz and coated with Aquatek Profile. The leather was cleaned, conditioned, and protected with Gyeon Leather Shield. This bike is cleaaaannnnnn!

This 2023 Street Glide in Prospect Gold stopped by today for a quick wash and wax. Busted out the Collinite 845 for a warm glow. All in a days work 💪🏻

2004 Fat Boy! This is an iconic Harley-Davidson model that first debuted as a prototype in 1988 and 1989 during Daytona Bike Week. It began mass production in 1990. The solid-cast wheel is a defining feature, along with the wider-than-usual appearance.

This bike was given a thorough wash, 3 step paint correction, and coated with CarPro D.Quartz GO. The leather was deep cleaned, reconditioned, and protected with Gyeon Leather Shield. I spent 4 hours machine polishing the chrome then coated it with Aquatek Profile. She’s a stunner! 🤩

This week’s bike is a 2010 Ultra Limited in Vivid Black & Black Ice Pearl.
