I am the lucky guy who benefited from Cruiseman need to have a damaged bike to work on for this video. For me, this is a miracle! I was so despondent when I realized that my right saddlebag was rubbing on a car. Thank you thank you Cruiseman!

Gotta say CM, I've been riding bikes for over 40yrs, all over the country, I've been a harley guy my whole life, but this right here is why I look forward to watching all your videos, picking up quality product information is so valuable, and even though I don't own a wing your install videos are amazing to watch because of the details at which you use to make it so understandable for wing owners, and when your out rollin miles it's always great to just listen to what ya gotta talk about.. from a roadglide ultra owner to a wing owner, love the channel.

Loved your video on removing scratches. I haven’t taken sand paper to my Goldwing yet but I will order the Turtle Wax Hybrid Solution. I’d like to suggest before sanding make certain it’s not paint transfer. I have removed lots of transfers with a MagicEraser and a half of a bucket of water. It works magic also. Thanks again for your videos I watch all of them.

My saddlebag was keyed (or looks like a keying). One single deep scratch about half the length of the bag, deep in the start, then gets lighter. No other damage or even minor scratches to indicate I got too close to something. I watched the video several times and bought the same items and even the Griots polisher. I was nervous starting the repair, I didn't want to make it worse but got to it. Wet sanded and polished. I stopped after a couple of passes. If you get really up close to the bag, the deepest part of the scratch can still be seen. Standing next to the bag, the entire scratch can't be seen. You'd have to know the scratch was there to know where to look. Thanks for lesson. Really satisfied with the results. Now I can shine up the other bag so they both look new.

You did a wonderful job! Nice going. I've done multiple cars and motorcycle paint corrections, and that was very good. The only suggestions I have is don't use Dawn dish washing soap. They make dedicated soaps for stripping waxes and sealants. Also clay bar area to remove bonded contamination on paint. Don't want to compound contamination into clearcoat. Everything else you did for your friend was spot on! Good good job!!!

True about the Dawn. That's just all I had in my arsenal at the time. I did do clay bar, but did not put it in the video because I am doing a separate video on clay bar.

Nice job, Chris! Glad you were able to help out Don! It was good to see him happy with it. This vid will probably come in handy for me because my baby is black & gray. She's a new 2020 and is still in pristine shape right now, but you know how black is. One question though...The day after I rode her home from the dealer, I dropped her off to be professionally ceramic coated. Would you do anything different if scratches still got through?

@cruisemansgarage 3 жыл бұрын

You probably need to talk to the shop where you had the ceramic coating applied. There is a good chance that polishing with a compound would remove the ceramic coating in the area being treated.

Depends.typically a "chip" needs to be touched up with touch up paint. I may do a video showing this at some point. Once the touch up paint is applied, then it may be necessary to lightly wet sand the area and polish out.

Interesting, I use Dawn detergent to wash my bikes all the time. It's magic as getting oil, bugs, water spots, etc, off the bike. I've never had any adverse effects in my finishes as a result. We put our hands in it all the time, they use it to clean oil off wildlife during spills. Maybe I've been lucky, not sure. However, 90% of the time I don't wet wash my bikes. And I rarely take the hose to it.

Harleys put on a lot more clear than Hondas. If you can feel the scratch with your finger nail, extreme measures. you can fill it in with catalyzed clear. Let it cure for a day or two. Scrape it with a razor blade and go thru the sanding process that Cruiseman did only very carefully.

Great job Chris. On the Turtle Wax Hybrid Solution I am impressed, do you need to use a clay bar or anything to remove all the 'stuff' that has accumulated on the paint,, or just wash it thoroughly with car wax/soap? I have the 2020 Canam Spyder and the paintwork is in good shape. Of course you know how the new paints are, a bit softer than the earlier paints. Thanks.

@michaelhoare5291 3 жыл бұрын

I'm not convinced. In fact I was pretty horrified. Ignoring the garage floodlights obscuring the surface of the saddlebag, whilst the initial result may be impressive it's by no means permanent. One wash and the wax and polish disappears and all is revealed. T-cutting scratches and abrasions is never a permanent solution. When it happens we've just got to suck it up and replace or have professional respray.
