Ducati 999R Superbike 2-step correction detail

[GoFast908Z]

A local forum member approached me about having his 999R corrected for the first time after seeing the 1199 Panigale I did recently. Owner decided on an 80%+ correction and we went with a 2-step correction to achieve this. About 7 hours went into this job.


As it looked upon arrival

No wax present at all on the paint....no water beading whatsoever, bike needed some love.

After washing and claying I brought it inside to get it ready for correction work. Plenty of defects to deal with.

Starting to show improvement.

All exposed carbon corrected as well.

After compounding and before the final polishing,here are a few sun shots. The sun was setting so I got what sun pics I could. The final polishing would bring more gloss and clarity to the paint.

Windscreen looking clear, not all swirled up anymore.

After polishing and waxing, finished under the lights.

Thanks for checking it out!

great job on the bike. I agree with tropicsteve, until you done one you can't relate to the time involved. 7 hours and you left it together easily add another 3 hours if you were to take it apart to really clean everything.

This is why my bike gets a wipe down with BLACKFIRE Wet Diamond Waterless Wash and that's it. Even the wipe down can take me a couple of hours....
