Building the road patania up till after the BRP trip, I'm sure it will get a natural shower a time or two.

There's just something about polishing chrome.

I did the full detail job on mine yesterday, it had to be done under it including. I feel the same gratification after it's done it looks so sweet.

I used Meguires "Hot Rims". What is the best product for cleaning the aluminum?

Thanks

Mine was filthy from riding in the rain for a couple of days. Spent 3 hours washing, waxing and detailing it. All is well again. ; )

Sometimes it could be considered protocol to take a picture when posting a thread like this. I know the feeling...
