Richards Best and a couple of microfibre cloths. I haven't had to touch the bike with water yet. It's the best stuff I've ever used.

Never had a problem. I also use Pip Spit which you stay on the engine that makes the Blake come alive.

Oh and I did spray the wheel first with a spoke type spray for wire wheels. Won't do that too often if I can help it Never thought of the " new " use for my Craftsman leaf blower   Logged     Last Edit: 2010/08/29 21:18 By EPRoadie.   The administrator has disabled public write access. #305712 fireman922 (User) Schrodinger's Cat - Wanted Dead & Alive Platinum Boarder Posts: 5161 Re:Cleaning the bike 2 Years, 8 Months ago   elproadie wrote: Never thought of the " new " use for my Craftsman leaf blower Saw my neighbor using his leaf blower on his pickup truck. Thought it was a great idea, so I did the same when washing my wife's car. Worked great until the mud dauber nest inside broke loose. Had to wash the car once again...   Logged     Ask me about my attention deficit disorder or my pie or my cat. A dog. I have a bike. Do you like TV? I saw a rock.

Moderator Posts: 14669 Re:Cleaning the bike 2 Years, 8 Months ago   I wash with car wash soap and hose once a year and use S100 on the engine. On a ongoing thing I use FastWax with a terry cloth towel and then buff with microfiber towel. It takes off bugs boot marks most anything and leaves a nice shine. I can do the bike in 30 minutes or less depending on how bad it is. Hey fireman those dirt dobber nests leave dents ya better not tell the wife about it.   Logged     My Site Black Ice is Shiny, Black Ice is Deadly, Ya Wanna Ride My BlackIce?   The administrator has disabled public write access. #305733 Wewalaw (User) Expert Boarder Posts: 510 Re:Cleaning the bike 2 Years, 8 Months ago   Mild dish soap in cool water with a micro-cloth. Wipe dry with miro-cloth and "Eagle-One wax as you dry". Between washings I use a micro-cloth and detail spray on paint and chrome. Like the idea of the leaf blower!   Logged     The administrator has disabled public write access. #305749 Big david (User) Gold Boarder Posts: 875 Re:Cleaning the bike 2 Years, 8 Months ago   i hose it down with about as much care as if i was washing a garbage can then i wash it with armor all car wash (GREAT STUFF MAKES PAINT LOOK WET WHEN DRY)then towl dry.I lite wax every three or four washes.   Logged     The administrator has disabled public write access. #305750 tsladden (User) Expert Boarder Posts: 579 Re:Cleaning the bike 2 Years, 8 Months ago   Mr. Clean car wash system. Microfiber on really bad spots. With the filtered rinse there is no worry about water spots.   Logged       The administrator has disabled public write access.
