#149893 DrumDon (User) Real men have twins! Platinum Boarder Posts: 1260 Re:BEST WAY TO WASH ROADIE????? 3 Years, 4 Months ago   MS1700, I agree with the leaf blower to dry it. There is no quicker way to get the water out of the hart-to-get-to areas.   Logged     2001 HD Road King Classic   The administrator has disabled public write access. #149895 cass (User) If it ain't broke, don't fix it. Expert Boarder Posts: 477 Re:BEST WAY TO WASH ROADIE????? 3 Years, 4 Months ago   S-100 all over for me.....works great on the bugs on the fairing to engine grime and dirt on the sidewalls. like they said, a little expensive but a little goes quite a ways. they have some polish and wax also...i use the nevrdull too...works good on the rest. cass   Logged     The administrator has disabled public write access. #149897 RoadstarB (User) Take off work and RIDE, You can work anytime. Gold Boarder Posts: 843 Re:BEST WAY TO WASH ROADIE????? 3 Years, 4 Months ago   If your looking for something to get the grime buildup off quick and cheeply, I have used Simple Green for the dollar store, it's cheep but mix it half with water, DON'T use it strait!...I would not advise to use it regulary, but wax everything after you have cleaned it. Simple Green is not like other degreasers with harmfull chemicals but it works great. The easiest wax I have found is RainX Easy Wax, I use it on all paint,chrome, and on the black motor and plastic, it doesn't dry solid like most waxes and it's easy to buff off even when it gets on the tires it comes off clear with no residue. You can also apply this wax while the bike is still wet and it works great!   Logged     Sold to BamaRoadStar   The administrator has disabled public write access. #149920 Makcap (User) How boring it would be if we were all the same Platinum Boarder Posts: 1736 Re:BEST WAY TO WASH ROADIE????? 3 Years, 4 Months ago   PLeadge non lemon and S-100 leaf blower.   Logged     RIDE DS:219 MASSILLON OHIO   The administrator has disabled public write access. #149925 fastjohnny (User) Platinum Boarder Posts: 1038 Re:BEST WAY TO WASH ROADIE????? 3 Years, 4 Months ago   if I've been caught in the rain or some mud I wash with a hose, warm water in a gallon bucket with about 2 drops of Dawn, and a micro fiber rag. Rinse it well, blow dry with the leaf blower. Pledge is all I use anymore for shining it. it's amazing stuff. I also use Pledge between washings like right after a ride (or right before the next one).   Logged     Last Edit: 2009/01/04 13:47 By fastjohnny.   The administrator has disabled public write access. #149942 LokoTripper (User) No officer it's street legal . . . I promise Expert Boarder Posts: 515 Re:BEST WAY TO WASH ROADIE????? 3 Years, 4 Months ago   The thing I hate the most about washing my bike is drying it !! I do not have a leaf blower or anything like it , so it really really does get on my nerves , so I go old school !! just half a bucket of water , yes only water , a clean cloth to scrub and a clean and dry cloth to dry I love the way my "Salma" looks after a good bath   Logged     E-Mail : LokoTripper at Gmail.com Cash , Gas or Ass . . .

Platinum Boarder Posts: 3510 Re:BEST WAY TO WASH ROADIE????? 3 Years, 4 Months ago   I've never had to take the hose or a bucket of water to mine, but if I did, I'd use a nozzle on the hose, rather than a pressure washer or anything like that. Even if you don't have a leaf blower or anything, water spots aren't that big of a deal. Pledge takes 'em right off.   Logged     My Music Whatever...   The administrator has disabled public write access.
