Bike Detailing

Rider · 02-26-2008, 01:12 PM

My bike never gets dirty enough to take a hose to it. I dont ride in the rain and I dont ever ride through water. I just use my polish after every ride. I've had it 2 years and it's never seen the hose once and it still looks showroom condition. I have only put 8500 miles on it though.

I just use Maguires Quick Detail Spray... I've washed my bike with water exactly twice... when i first got it... and right before I put it up this last October (as it's gonna sit for almost a year) after a ride though it gets a nice spray down of Maguire's Quick Detail wax and a rub down... it'll even take off the bugs!

just keep it off your mirrors... or you'll need to clean those with a good glass cleaner(not windex) to get them clean again.

I have a bottle of that stuff. I just got it. Works great.

as long as your not trying to clean up 4 rides worth of dried on bug guts your good... I've yet to see anything NOT come off with this stuff when applied after a ride... even the next morning... but once you get outside that window it doesn't work nearly as well on the bugs and stuff... then again not much does short of degreaser

I put on the paint sealant when i first got the bike... (yes the stuff that auto dealers try to sell you when you buy a new car... that's what i do)
the stuff WORKS, makes it WAY easier to clean the bike later.

I've put water to my bike a few times... but then again, I ride in the rain, or anything else, so it takes a bit to clean it.
