@@RoyAsastha you’re absolutely right. In some cases it’s cheaper to buy a new windscreen. Which motorcycle do you have? in some cases like this BMW, it costs around 350€ to buy a new one and in some cases a new replacement is not available like some classic models.

I appreciate your input and best of luck. If you are looking for a specific piece of information and unable to find it, let me know I may be able to help.

320 grit 😅

Thank you. I used the same towel at the end of the video maybe it’s not clear. I’ll keep your comment in mind for future videos

At 4:20 the after with the same background

I agree. Next videos will be with natural voice.

Absolutely! I was told that it would remove P600 using rotary and wool pad but unfortunately it didn’t. What do you use to remove P1000 scratches?

I don't currently have a compound that will remove P1000 scratches, which is typically what I find left behind on hard German clearcoat. I normally try a second polishing set with a small 1" wool pad. If that doesn't work, probably have to wet sand. 483 could be the answer I'm looking for - I hope so!@@aftermathrestoration.Greece

Thank you. It took around 32 hours to complete the full exhaust.

Thank you! I’ll definitely try this combo. Honestly, Virtus products are superior to many known brands in the market. I’ll let you know once I try it Cheers!

I haven't tried any virtus polishes above 1,400rpm. Is 2,000rpm your preferred speed? Thanks

Isopropyl alcohol

Thank you and best of luck! 1200 GS is a great machine.

I totally agree. Brilliant product 👌👌

I have seen some videos but I prefer not to use harsh chemicals on bare metal. It open the bores and allow the corrosion to penetrate deeper.

It is steel

It is steel

@@aftermathrestoration.Greece does the ACF-50 preserve it from rust?

@@PimentaDaNeyde yes, I have used it on many exhausts and none showed any rust. It has been around a year now, I do maintenance check every 6 months and apply a fresh coat.

@@aftermathrestoration.Greece That's interesting, I would've assumed it would just burn off.

Thank you thank you 😬

Thank you very much

Thank you very much! I’m glad you liked the work. It’s Proxxon WP/E. A rotary polisher. You can find the product details here www.proxxon.com/en/micromot/28660.php

Thank you very much. So far it’s doing great, no corrosion whatsoever after 10 months. A little bit of yellowing at the headers from the heat. I do a quick polish with autosol and it’s all good

😂 the magic of detailing, my friend

Thank you. Yes, it starts elaborating at 212 F / 100 C. During my research I couldn’t find a better alternative. If you know any better protection, please let me know

@@aftermathrestoration.Greece okay, although after all that good work getting it smooth and clean you should immediately get it plated or chromed. Then it will last.

@@philtucker1224 I understand. Yes, it’s is the logical method to protect steel from corrosion. The issue is that Chrome plating in Greece is a bit overpriced compared to this work. Even though the job was done almost a year ago, the exhaust is still looking great with no rust whatsoever. Just a little discoloration on the headers from the heat. I’m looking into getting a plating bath (if that’s the correct name) for my shop to save time and cost

@@aftermathrestoration.Greece that sounds like a really good investment after you mentioned about the high cost of chrome plating in your region. Any sort of anodising would protect the bare metal and you could use it for lots of different plating of metal parts and fixings etc etc ..👍🇬🇧

@@philtucker1224 I appreciate your advice and encouragement!! Thank you, really 🙏

Thank you for the comment. The products are listed in the description. Between my voice and my accent, the robot voice is least of two evils 😅

@@aftermathrestoration.Greece Got it thanks

@@aftermathrestoration.Greece Thanks for listing the products, with links, in the description. That makes it very easy to track them down and I appreciate it.

@@SkyWriter25 my pleasure. Trying to make sure there’s no confusion

@@aftermathrestoration.Greece You did a great job & showed more than anyone. Other channels talk more about the products than the process. Glad to subscribe to your channel.

Thank you for watching. Glad you like them Nice name, btw

Sorry for that. It’s 320 400 800

@@aftermathrestoration.Greece thanks! And I take it back, only for the 1st grit.

It is Proxxon WP/E

You can extend the protection by doing a IPA wipe after the polish and apply Graphene or ceramic coating.

Thank you Yes, if you want to restore your personal motorcycle. In some cases, the windscreen may not be available like some classics or can be overpriced like this BMW GS Case lol You can use ScratchX and P6 to polish your car/motorcycle as well. For me I have the products/tools in my shop and I use them for many windscreens.

I’d you restore anyone’s windshield? If yes, where are you located and how much do you charge?

@@sakarilady1 yes, of course. I’m located in Athens, Greece. I hope it’s not too far

My motorcycle crashed and the windshield has some pretty deep scratches/gouges. Would this work? I've also seen videos using heat guns on plexiglass motorcycle windshields...

@@mnataluk I Hope you’re ok! I’ve used this method to eliminate deep scratches. You can start with 800 grit sanding paper to level the scratches and move up to 1000, 1500 then 2000 before polishing. If you have a big rotary polishing machine it will make the job 10 times easier. A wool pad and medium speed will eliminate the fine scratches left from the sanding process.

Hahaha no worries. I am not sure my accent will be clear enough. It’s much easier to just record my voice but I don’t think you’ll make it to 0:03 😂

@@aftermathrestoration.Greece 🫢 😅

Thank you very much! Glad to know you like the process. I have one exhaust done few months ago (since October) and still in great condition. On the other hand, I had a client coming back with few rust spots. It was super easy to remove with 1000 grit sanding paper and another coat of ACF 50. The manufacturer claims that it tastes for 6 months. I’ll keep monitoring the pieces I did and keep you updated with another video. I have a test unit in the basement (perfect for rust) and will take it out in two months to see how well it looks

@@aftermathrestoration.Greece You are welcome, it definitely depends on riding and climate conditions, mine usually rust faster when the bike is parked at my beach house and after long trips. I think I'll give ACF - 50 a go! Take your time and let us know of the basement results!

I agree, the conditions make a big difference. Here in Greece most bikes that are located in islands have rust issues more than the ones in the mainland.

@@aftermathrestoration.Greece Just noticed that you are Greek too 😀 I get my rust in Halkidiki though - Καλή συνέχεια να έχεις!

@@MrTsibi lol same here. Επίσης

thank you! I'm glad you enjoyed the video. It does take some elbow grease but the moment you reach 800 Grit paper, the exhaust starts to shine and you can see the difference. It is quite satisfying to see the reflection become clearer and clearer with each pass ACF-50 helps a little against corrosion. The discoloration happen due to the metal nature (as afar as I know) regardless of the coating used. Even uncoated exhausts turn yellow and blue due to heat. The best treatment I found s far is Autosol anti bluing solution. It seems to remove the majority of the discoloration

@@aftermathrestoration.Greece thanks for sharing your experience and recommendations! I'll try the anti bluing stuff next time. No need to bust the abrasives out if it can be cleaned up chemically :)

Absolutely. If it’s a matter of discoloration no need for sanding. Chemical treatment can bring back the shine

Correct. To test the performance it should be tested in ideal conditions. I was testing the products in different set ups to have better understanding of the product and how it behaves. These different scenarios helped me classify the products when I use one step, I choose the polish depending on the surface. For heavily scratched surfaces I use P6 with medium pad, for love marks, light scratches and oxidation Uno will show better clarity. In both cases it make a bigger difference for the client eyes.

Thank you for your comment. Yes, it is True. When using DA with bigger pad we get more action. Unfortunately since I work on motorcycles I cannot use DA. My best option is rotary with a small pad. In rare occasions when I use DA, I use the shortest throw possible to avoid hitting spots where I don’t want to.

Thank you very much. Glad you enjoyed it.

thank you. Stay tuned for Part 2 and 3 ;)

Thank you, Glad you enjoyed it.
