Frequently Asked Questions

Automobile detailing is a process which involves thorough cleaning, polishing and waxing of an automobile, both inside and out, and every component of the vehicle to produce a show-quality level of detail. Besides improving appearance, detailing helps to preserve resale value of a vehicle too.

Detailing is done to improve the appearance and maintain the "Curb Appeal" of your vehicle, to improve the ownership experience, and to maintain a higher sale value.

Customer’s proudest moment was when the Motorcycle was brand new and looked its best.

ReflectON can bring back that New Motorcycle Feeling, with our highly regarded custom detailing services.

Every Motorcycle is different, but in general, a thorough detail will leave just about every surface of the vehicle improved, from beautifully glossy and slick feeling paint to UV protected, low sheen rubber and vinyl, cleaned and conditioned leather and sparkling chrome.

The difference is dramatic and not one that can be achieved by just polishing the vehicle. When you consider how expensive it would be to repaint your Motorcycle, Detailing represents a very good value for money. Our main intention is to preserve the original paint while achieving mind-blowing results.

For a good variety of examples of what can be achieved, our gallery includes a selection of the Motorcycles and bikes that we have detailed and below is a summary of just some of the benefits:

• Removing marks and reducing fading in paint - Rejuvenating paint by removing/reducing existing fading, swirls, minor scratches, etching, etc. and at the same time ensuring it stays in better condition for longer period.
• A stunning looking finish - Detailed vehicles really do stand out. From Commuter Bikes to Superbikes, our customers are often surprised at how much better their Motorcycle looks even if they have been regularly looking after it themselves.
• A Motorcycle which is easier to clean - tends to stay cleaner, longer - the slickness brought about by extensive decontamination and protective treatments keeps the dirt from sticking quite so easily.
• Providing long term protection - By removing contaminants which can eat into the finish (leather, chrome, vinyl, paint, etc.) and then where appropriate, sealing it, your Motorcycle will stay in top condition for longer periods.
• Helping to retain the value of your Motorcycle - a well presented Motorcycle will always sell better and a detail takes things to the next level with Motorcycles often looking better than new and standing out from the rest.
• An extensive paint inspection - Our substantial knowledge of paintwork combined with high tech gauges and inspection lamps- allows us to spot most existing or possible future issues and provide free advice.

Some people like to wash their Motorcycles once per week (or more) while others prefer once per month, or longer! In fact, vehicles are under constant attack from airborne pollution and contaminants. Left on the surface, these finish killers can embed themselves into the paint, some very quickly.

Bird droppings, for instance, can eat through to your clear coat in as little as one hour during the heat of summer! Another example, tree sap can be almost impossible to remove if left on the clear coat for an extended period of time.

The key is getting into a habit of regular Motorcycle Motorcyclee maintenance. Of all the things you can do to Motorcyclee for your Motorcycle, regular washing is the most visual, the most fun, and the easiest! After getting it detailed, it will be significantly easier to wash the vehicle and maintain the pristine shine.

Contrary to popular belief, new Motorcycles rarely look their best. Despite being treated to a quick wash and polish by the dealership (which may even result in swirl marks caused by over-eager attention or wrong techniques), residue from the protective film they wear during transportation may remain. Plus they may have been stored outside for a number of months, near open sheds, railways and other industrial areas - before being treated to a light dusting of contaminants when transported by the roadways or railways.

We at ReflectON approach each and every vehicle with same respect and attention to detail and one thing we never fail to do is to see that our clients are happy with our work ethic, results and professionalism. Save your Vehicle from the Teflon-Coat Mafia and get the vehicle a gleaming look and make heads turn when your vehicle passes by.

The fundamental principle of vehicle appearance improvement is to ensure that the surface is free from the imperfections that are not always visible to the owner.

We at ReflectON use intensive lighting during the correction process to highlight any possible defects. The surface will be buffed using the most advanced techniques to allow light to reflect perfectly and further enhanced with high quality finishing product. Even a very well Motorcycleed for Motorcycle will benefit from the service.

No, all of the products and chemicals we use are from the industry's leading manufacturers such as MotorcyclePro, Collinitte, Meguairs, Dodo Juice, Gtechniq, Chemical Guys, FinishKare, and whole lot of World's Best Brands that have undergone rigorous testing before allowed on the open market.

The products we use are ph (alkaline) controlled and citrus based cleaners combined with fine waxes and polishes which are reflected in the price. We leave the acid based products to the less reputable hand wash, washing and polishing outfits who charge less because they are not concerned about your investment.

Every single vehicle we prepare is detailed to the same high standard every single time. We have a very Motorcycleeful eye for detail and our quality control process is second to none. Detailing is our passion.

A clear coat is, essentially, a layer of clear paint applied on top of a basecoat, which contains the pigment for colour. Base coats have no reflection or colour depth. The clear coat is applied to the top of the base coat to add the shine, colour depth and reflection. Clear coat is paint; therefore it requires consistent polishing and waxing efforts to help protect it from the environment.

Some single-step products combine the cut of a polish with the shine and protection of a wax. They work great when speed is important, but aren’t as effective overall as a two-step polish/wax process.

A polish is designed to remove minor surface imperfections such as scratches, spotting, and oxidation. Polishes work with abrasives and/or chemical cleaners to flatten, or level, the surface

For example, a clear coat scratch can reflect light from its microscopic edges. That’s what makes it stand out from the surrounding area. A polish can smooth out, or level, the edges; reducing the amount of light the scratch reflects. In many cases, a polish can completely remove minor surface scratches and other imperfections. A wax is designed to enhance and protect a previously polished surface. The protection is necessary to keep airborne pollutants, road film and other contaminants from sticking to the surface, causing potentially long term damage.

It varies based on the age and condition of your Motorcycle. Other factors such as where your Motorcycle is parked, (garage, outside, combination of both) and the region in which you live can influence your Motorcycle Motorcyclee needs. As a rule of thumb, wax and/or polish your Motorcycle 3-4 months.

At the minimum, twice per year, just to keep up with the forces of nature and man. Once a year Motorcycle polishing is better than nothing at all, but just barely. You can increase the amount of time between wax applications by ‘claying’ the surface prior to waxing. The clay will safely remove bonded surface contaminants from the paint that didn’t come off during the wash. Some of that dirt includes, tree sap mist, paint over-spray, road tar, rail dust and other environmental contaminants.

A compound is a very aggressive product designed to “cut” or “level” the painted surface very quickly. Compounds contain abrasives that remove the surface of the paint under rotation of a buffer pad, or under pressure such as your hand on top of a towel. They offer a faster cut than most polishes for removing oxidation, heavy spots and scratches. Compounds will produce heavy swirls which will need to be buffed out with a polish.

Dish Soaps work great on dishes, that’s why they’re called “dish soaps”. The truth is, many dishwashing soaps aren’t pH balanced and can actually strip the wax right off the Motorcycle! Our Motorcycle wash shampoos are pH balanced and fortified with optical brighteners to clean the dirt and add some shine without removing the wax or dulling the paint.

Once a year waxes are typically not waxes, but are polymers or paint sealants. They may also have chemical cleaners in them to provide a good bonding to the painted surface. If the Motorcycle is garaged, never scratched and washed with the proper Motorcycle soap, they may last a year, although they cannot keep the surface from being scratched or contaminated with airborne dirt and industrial fallout. When people see the Motorcycle’s finish losing its shine, they assume it needs waxing. Actually the surface may need polishing.

Polishes and waxes work best on a cool clean surface. The hot surface evaporates the chemical cleaners and they become very dusty. The waxes dry out too quickly making the wax and polish hard to remove. If you have to wax or polish in the sun, work your products in very small sections and spray some quick detailer to keep the surface “wet”.
