Let it Shine, Let it Shine with F11 by Topcoat

If you are like me, then a clean motorcycle not only rides better, longer and faster, but it also shows pride of ownership!  I have tried several cleaners, waxes and sealants through my 40+ years of riding.  I have even contemplated paying a Harley-Davidson Dealership close to $300 to detail my 2014 FLHTK!  Well, almost!

One day looking on Facebook there was and advertisement of a surface sealant claiming to be "the best high performance" surface coating in the world!  Hell of a claim, but was it simply hype?  I read the article and watched a few YouTube Videos on F11 by Top Coat.  Some of the videos had Harley-Davidson employees detailing motorcycles with F11 and what they thought about it.  After seeing this, I wondered so was the almost $300 detail job at the dealership one in which they used F11?

I logged onto Topcoats website and saw a "special" web price of $59.97 having a retail price of $249.60.  Well if F11 did half of what it claimed to do, I figured I had just saved myself $200 plus from what the dealership was charging.  In all fairness, the dealership offered a warranty with their treatment.

What I got for my $59.97 was one 16oz spray bottle of F11 Polish & Sealer along with a 2oz travel size and two microfiber towels.  In less than a week I received my order.  First things first, another detailed washing of the motorcycle, complete blow dry and detailed drying.  Afterwards I let the motorcycle sit for a few hours to make sure it was nice a dry, along with moving it from outside shade to in the garage shade, and it being a little cooler.

I followed the directions, imagine that! on the bottle.  Spray a small area, work into the surface, then polish, or buff with second, clean micro cloth.  Immediately I saw a much "deeper" looking paint job and this on a Vivid Black color, that seldom shows any depth!  After about two hours, I had completed the entire project, including windshield, chrome, leather seats and gauges.

The pictures, I hope do justice to the job F11 Topcoat does.  If not, try for yourself.  The little investment in money will help protect the large invest you have in front of you.
