My Moto-OCD got the best of me again- I bought a clean, but ridden 2001 Honda VFR this weekend. It has about 26K miles on the odo, but nothing out of the ordinary as far as wear and tear goes.
I'd like to get the paint looking as good as it can, but I realize it's a 9-year-old machine, so it won't be perfect. There are some mild to moderate scratches on the plastic and some marks from a tank bag on the steel fuel tank.
Once I got the thing home, I attacked the exterior with some Honda motorcycle detailer. (if you ride, you know what this stuff is) Then I broke out the clay bar and went over all of the painted surfaces.
What do you guys recommend that will help with some light scratches on an older surface? I have a Porter Cable random buffer already...
Thanks, and here are a few pics. It's a sport-touring bike, please don't call it a crotch rocket.![Poke](https://www.meguiarsonline.com/core/images/smilies/1poke.gif)
