Default 1st bath for my fattie.

I just finished givin' my fattie its first bath since I've owned it. I used S100, a paint brush, and a hose, and a blower to dry it off. I still had to polish all the chrome. I didn't realize that much work was involved. I havent gotten the polish out on the chrome yet, but I vinylexed all the black rubber and plastic items and she loks great. After lunch I'll polish the chrome with flitz and then some mothers. It's a labor of love.

Be careful about what you put on your tires!

It can be a disaster...

Making them slick.

Seems a lot of people have learned the hard way about shining their tires.

Of course there was no mention of tires, just rubber parts. I'd rather say something and get a 'duh!' response then not and hear a bad story.
