Rauls17 Posted October 31, 2011 Report Posted October 31, 2011 I use simple green but wanted to see what you guys use and what you spray after you clean it I spray wd-40 Quote
Infamous039 Posted October 31, 2011 Report Posted October 31, 2011 I spray the engine with simple green or whatever degreaser I have available, then I make a bucket of car wash soap and water then wash it like you do a car. Rinse it off then I take my air compressor and spray all the hard to reach spots so water is sitting any where, then I take a microfiber cloth and wipe it down. Then i get the mothers polish out and shine up the chrome pieces. LOL I know its a long process but I do this after every weekend ride. Quote

jbooker82 Posted October 31, 2011 Report Posted October 31, 2011 Liquid Performance's TopKote makes for a pretty good shine on plastic. Quote
Zwiser Posted October 31, 2011 Report Posted October 31, 2011 tire shine on the plastics works well too, as well as your tires and rad hoses and seat Quote
Coupelx Posted October 31, 2011 Report Posted October 31, 2011 tire shine on the plastics works well too, as well as your tires and rad hoses and seat seat? no thanks. Quote

BigRed350x Posted October 31, 2011 Report Posted October 31, 2011 pressure washer for most stuff except around the filters and gasket surfaces. Spray it off with the air hose. Then catch any tight spots I missed with a rag. Quote
Banshee Chad Posted October 31, 2011 Report Posted October 31, 2011 Clean ur bike? I treat it like my truck, drive thru mud puddles in construction sites and leave it... Looks bad assed and tough.. Seriously I spray it down with purple power and rinse. Air dries in the garage. WD on chain and sprockets. Quote
