Platinum Boarder Posts: 7097 Re:Spring bike cleaning 2 Years, 3 Months ago   >>> Wax ON <<<< wax off Seriously, what I do is I just park it in a nice level spot, jack it up, I take off the windshield, the saddlebags and the seats. I will also sometimes remove the rear seat and luggage rack. Take your time, washing front to back, bottom to top. When she's all clean, I use the leaf blower to help dry her, and microfiber cloths to get her clean and shinny. I use pledge to polish her and then I clean the parts I took off front and back prior to reinstalling them. Use a good bee's wax on leather and when your all done...ride it!   Logged     Free, personalized tra   The administrator has disabled public write access. #257866 TROB (User) Gold Boarder Posts: 692 Re:Spring bike cleaning 2 Years, 3 Months ago   i live in a spot where I have to keep it clean year round.... ......   Logged     2007 Road Star BAK Bub Jug Huggers   The administrator has disabled public write access. #257872 Mich447 (User) Junior Boarder Posts: 194 Re:Spring bike cleaning 2 Years, 3 Months ago   Darn do same thing with leaf blower love it drys her good then go over with cloth big believer in S-100 products work well for me, If i'm bored at night jack her up and polish her from head to toe, little never dull on rough areas and then mother chrome polish.   Logged     The administrator has disabled public write access. #257880 Darn (User) Don't forget, Never forget.

I then wash/dry and use Noxon 7 to clean the surface of the metal then mothers metal polish   Logged     Last Edit: 2010/02/16 17:35 By Jade68454.     The administrator has disabled public write access. #257922 Mich447 (User) Junior Boarder Posts: 194 Re:Spring bike cleaning 2 Years, 3 Months ago   Jade will try that tip with aluminum and WD40 sound great   Logged     The administrator has disabled public write access. #257929 Jade68454 (User) Platinum Boarder Posts: 1237 Re:Spring bike cleaning 2 Years, 3 Months ago   it works great, especially on aluminum that has been neglected I used to be a manager at a pep boys and we had a customer come in with an alpha romeo spider the engine was all white from oxidation i told the owner to spry it down and soak it with wd-40 he came back a week later and was very grateful had a smile ear to ear hell the other day i took off the wheels from my 04 midnight and had my neighbor go outside and spray them down he had a perplexed look when i told him to use wd-40 it started to rain a couple of hours later and he was quite surprised to see how good they looked even after i pressure wash the engine in my car i spray it down with wd if its real dirty i spray it down first then wash it and spray it again   Logged       The administrator has disabled public write access.
