Andrea - the Tech3 bike is beautiful - the paint is like glass - excellent detail without going overboard. The exhaust heat staining is not too much and looks very realistic. Your clear and finish polish and wax is evident of your skills. One thing though - slicks "tyres" never have a molding rib down the center - If it was mine I would lightly sand down the rubber flash and then apply a small amount of "oil" to the rubber to make it shiny like a new set of slicks. I would use a light cooking oil to get the shine back. New slicks do have a glistening shine to them that we used to use a "tyre" compound to wash off before we put on "tyre" warmers and went on the track. - John
