    Default Spider RT detailing

    First let’s get this out-of-the-way. I am simply no longer capable of detailing my motorcycles nor my spyder like I used to. Although very apprehensive, I called a mobile auto detailer to see if he was willing to look at my vehicle and give me a price. After one or two calls back-and-forth he said a total detail would be $200. Although I thought that was a little high, I figure my time is worth money also so I went head and made an appointment. The detailer showed up with a fully contained van and two other workers. They washed, cut, Polished and sealed the paint. They shined all the black parts including the tires and detailed and waxed the wheels. He also had me come out and look for any scratches that they messed. I only found one and he took care of it immediately. They worked on the bike for two hours which for me to do it would’ve taken several more. What a great experience! It was well worth the cash spent and of course I tipped them for their good work. Next spring I will use them again to get my bike ready for the season. $200 is a lot of money in my book but after looking at all the work they did work the time they spent doing it, I thought it was a bargain.

    Not really, but picture your bike in the show room and think of it as several steps better looking. I have owned a lot of motorcycles and detailed them very carefully with many hours of work. This is better than showroom quality.
