vino 125 detail

[fzr confused]

well being on vacation and bored led me to detailing my scooter....i waxed it last week, but didnt get to detail it. so today i used some QD on it and then used some 205. the 205 took out about 90% of the swirls but i wanted them all gone so i tried some swirlX which did the job well i think. followed that with some 205 and then some m26 then 2 coats of nxt 2.0 and then some UQW.
this is 50/50 left side with 205 (ended up using 105 to get ALL the scratches out)

Nice work! Cool scooter!

Yes.After I got my new Black car,I never really noticed the Metal flakes in it,untill I polished and waxed it...You're right.It really pops out..rainbow style..


What is the Scooters origin of manufacture?

As Sammy Hagar said "Get on your Bad Motor ScoooOoooter"

Ha-ha! I know someone ,drives a scooter and he's massive! It's so funny...He looks like Lurch on a kids toy bike!

There's loads of scooters here..I'm not to familiar with all the makes though. A lot of youngsters here(too young to own a car),like to tune them.They buy exhausts made by a firm called 'Pollini'.The noise really cuts right through you.Hurts my ears!!

Do you do that over there?

Re: vino 125 detail

there are a bunch of scooter mods out over here, but mine is relatively stock minus the "race" variator, slider weights and clutch and torque springs....i hate the sound of the exhausts, so that will remain stock and almost silent

You're doing the right thing.Those exhaust upgrades are extremely painfull to the ears. And i'm not joking!

A couple of years back,there was a guy from Rome that got so fed up with this guy on his scooter making so much noise going up and down past his house all day,that he shot him.He went to jail,of course.But it shows you how sore these high pitched exhausts are!

Anyway....good job you done.It's the shiniest I've seen!
