Hi everyone! This BMW C1 scooter belongs to one of my Ferrari/Maserati customers and out of all of his vehicles he chooses this one as a DD. They say that fat chicks and scooters are both fun to ride, but just don't tell your buddies... well I'll admit it, I have been guilty of hoggin' before so sporting this puppy around wouldn't be half bad... especially on the busy streets of Budapest! Anyhoo, this thing's had some wear and general muck on it so it was in need of some Jesse Love! I gave it a good cleaning with Intsa Finish Super APC 1:8 then polished everything out with Insta Cut #30 and a 4" Scholl finishing pad. All plastics were dressed with IF Super Dress All and leather treated with IF Leather Conditioner.



Needs some paint

The tires were dressed but I paid special attention to apply it to the walls only! You'll lay a bike down with the quickness by dressing the treads.

Here's some others that I did last week (minus a Alfa Romeo 159 wagon (wash n' wax) and a Mercedes C Class (polish) I did... didn't have time for piccies :( ), >>



599 GTB regular customer of mine and I'm the only one who's washed this car since it's release from the dealership. It's been wearing a coat of Dodo Supernatural and before I stripped it, beading properties were still very present... I waxed this back in March :). Long live Dodo!! The car was ONR'd, APC'd and clayed then another coat of SN was applied. Leather was treated with IF Leather conditioner and tires with Super Dress All.

Next up... the twins. A set of Volvo XC90's that a bathe every Friday. Until now it was just interior/exterior for these adolescents, but today we washed, clayed, waxed and cleaned & creamed the leather. The wax of choice was Insta Finish Premium Wax (teflon/carnauba).

The evil twin (the one that's been to the automatic car wash too many times...) all cleaned up, too!

I traveled for 2 hours (there and back) to do an interior/exterior on this one. My first Ferrari customer :). After seeing for himself that not all car washes are created equal (it's been scratched to hell again by "the others"), he realized that his baby likes me much better :). This one's wearing Zymöl Vintage, which I applied a few weeks back. It was riddled with bugs so after removing the collection and the wax with it, I applied Collinite 845 to replace the wax, but I'll add another layer of Vintage to it next time.

ONly a true soldier knows them words! Lmfao OOh thats bad I remember them days bringing them threw the day room of BQ. I won a few times!!!! :drool:Jesse more great work my friend! I'd pimp that scooter!
 
Jesse, beautiful work as always!!! The south park pic was priceless!



Though I'd remove the tire shine from the scooter. Even on the sidewalls, it will bleed to the tread. I've experienced this. Not fun. As a rider, that stuff scares me even on the sidewall. Almost went down once from it.





The other cars are just stunning. You have such a cool job man!

Thanks Marc! I guess you didn't catch the clause in your contract with Uncle Sam that states, "... once inactive duty requirements have been fulfilled, all weight-sanction breaches shall be null and void..." Kinda like one of those "crimes of passion" pardons ya know :).

Do you go through $10k a year in Tic-Tacs?



Thank you Justin! Actually I go through about $15k because I eat a good part of them :)!

Thanks Jeff! Yeah, you're probably right about the running... will call the guy tomorrow, thanks!
 
Always enjoy reading your threads, beautiful work as usual.



I agree about the tire dressing on the scooter, especially here in the sue happy US. You always have to cover your own ***!
