There is really no difference between doing it on a car or a bike. Same process. Make sure the bike is a clean as you can get it. Use a good clay bar lubricant and fold the clay bar after every swipe. Like stated before ensure there is no decent sized particles in the clay. Clay bars are not meant to get big chunks of stuff of the paint.

I use a NANO-Sponge on my clay-needed paints. much easier to deal with and (to me) better results.

I have used it on my bike and truck. You can feel the difference. There is also clay bars for windshields for cars/trucks. I was surprised at the difference that it makes when using windshield wipers.

Default clay bar

Try on your chrome mufflers & pipes. It works wonders on getting all the tiny road tar and grime off. Rub your hands over your mufflers before and after, you will be amazed how smooth they fill after the clay bar. Do the chrome just like the paint and spray on lube and clay bar it.
