I owned the first "Frozen" paint model BMW ever produced. I found it too difficult to drive it and keep the finish maintained from bugs and other debris. In frustration, one day I took a can of Blue Coral polish and made the whole machine shiny. Yes it was a metallic so once polished it really looked great and everyone asked me how I'd done it. This was in 1977 and the BMW was a 1978 R100RS, the first motorcycle with a factory full fairing developed in the Pininfarina wind tunnel.
