Clean whitewalls with Westley's Bleche-Wite & a scrub brush. Works everytime. You can get Westley products almost anywhere.

Nope. You can't remove swirls and scratches from chrome.

I hear that a cycle dryer or a compressor with special filters or attachments is the best over a leaf blower (which is usually full of leaf dust). What type of cycle dryer would you recommend (or compressor with special attachments) would you recommend and where would I buy one?.................Struens

Whatever is used to blow across the paint and chrome of a bike should be dedicated for that purpose. No matter if it a 200.00 filtered and heated air blower to a ten dollar shop vac.

3 DOG,

What type of dryer (that is filtered) works best. It appears that my compressor sprays moisture back on to the bike..................Struens
