This is a good way to keep the bike looking fresh daily.....if it sees no rain/mud that is.

Every time I ride....after I get home I have a bucket of water and two micro-fiber towels waiting for me. There is no need for soap...just water is all you need. The best place I have found for the micro towels is Walmart...they have a bundle of them for $5 in the auto section (by the wash stuff).

Simply wet one of the towels and ring out....wipe down some areas...then dry with the other towel....then repeat till bike is done. It takes all of 20 minutes to do this and you will be happy with the outcome. Doing this evertime you ride, doesn't give the bugs a chance to harden up!!

Trust me...spend the 20 minutes!!

Add a little Eagle One Wax As You Dry to that wet towel and watch your bike really shine.
