Here's the terry clothes I use.
 

Top notch shit, way better than anything else, including those microfiber shitters. $5 a piece and worth every penny IMB.

I normally take care of that in the shower. Its just easier.

uhh...brand name? website? anything?

how do you clean them? Can they take hardcore chain lube fling and grime and still be reused?

Don't remember the brand name, but you can find them at Pep Boys. McGuires use to make them for a while but I couldn't find them when I got back from Korea, but I found these at Pep Boys after a long search through all the automotive stores.

To answer your chain lube question, yes they can. I use goo-gone to get the chain lube off and wash the cloth after. Since the cloth has all that lube on it, I dedicate that cloth only to clean wheels. It takes a while, but once you wash/dry the cloths and they don't come out soft anymore I throw it/them away. The 4 I have now are 3 months old and still kicking. Wash with hot water and throw them in the dryer with one fabric softener sheet and you're good to go.

This is how my bike looks 90% of every time I go out, whether it's my track 'glass or street. The close ups were to show that there is no tiny swirl marks in the clear coat. I had to angle it so I could get the sun on it to show. I took a bit longer to clean it today because my buddy's trailer put all types of thick dust on it. Even detailed the chain, but the bike was cleaned with just some quick detailer and Plexus, that's it. Didn't need Goo-Gone on the wheels this time either.

Got some new blinkers up front, too. 25$ shipped from Ebay. They had the stock fittings/connectors already on 'em, too.

Looks sweet D, my bike was that clean once... then I rode it off the showfloor. :lol:

So how do you like the Micheline Man running up your ass every time you ride? :lol:

I fucking love it.

The only thing I see wrong with them would be the border...

I have no pep boys in the area.... where else???

The border is a soft satin or satin-type something. Who washes with the border anyway? No Pep Boys, huh? Don't know what to tell ya, I don't know the brand name.

Yeah but the border could scratch paint... that's my worry.

cut the borders off, done deal.

try kragen or advance auto parts...or maybe you got a o'reillys near you.

Yeah, maybe if you put force on it while it's directly on paint. You put your hand in the middle of the cloth and apply pressure that way. It may rub against the paint, but it won't do anything to it. It's very, very soft/smooth, trust me. I've been using these for a couple years now and my bike is fine. You're worrying too much. All you have to do is keep 'em clean and soft and a washer and dryer does it. I don't wash them after each use, but after several uses or if they dirty faster.

dnyce... that's what I was thinking... cut them off.

Gas, I just bought some of those at Auto Zone last night. $5 each. I already used then and they work great. I got 5 of them.

NIce work. Good start on a new bike, too. Shit will be pristine forever using those.

Good tip!

Nice... I use the high quality Micro Fiber ones... they are soft as hell too, never had a problem with those.
