Tru Shine tackles a Campagna Motors T-Rex
I had a chance to work on somthing a little different a few weeks ago,
I was contacted by a local customer asking if I could make a difference in his T-Rex.
I was excited to see what I could do for it but more importantly I wanted to take it for a spin.
But with not having a motorcycle license, I had to settle for riding shotgun.
here are some pictures of my process.

I started by removing the seats, this doesn't take much at all, just removing the pin from the head rest and the whole seat will come out.

I used Megs Super Degreaser to degrease the engine area, then agitated it with various brushes

the rear wheel was a polished aluminum, So I wanted to use a pH balanced wheel cleaner insuring that nothing gets damaged. Sonax Full Effect was chosen for this.

the Sonax was left to dwell

This EZ detail brush really helped to reach all the hard to get places.

Next the T-rex recieved a foam bath to dislodge and loose or heavy debris

Next I used my Metro Blower to get the water out of all the tight places

Then we come to the Correction, the Meguiars Microfiber DA system was used for cutting. here are some pics under the halogens

here is a 50/50 after MF cutting and Tang/205

and the Final gloss shot

here is the hood before I started, Even without the halogen lights you can see how bad the surface is.

50/50 , also notice the windshield

look at that metalic pop!

here is the Windshield I mentioned above

I removed the windshield and polished it out using d300 on the MF cutting disc

so much more clearity. these swirls were very noticeable on the test ride.

now you can actually see through

while the glass was removed I took the opportunity to polish out the carbonfiber cluster cover.

making my way around the bike, here is another 50/50

After all said and done, here are a few final pics. I had a blast working on this and doing donuts was just a cherry on top. a video will be posted below.

Glossin outta control!

Am I wrong, or aren't those powered by Kawi 1000 motors used in the ZX10R Ninjas?
