Default Washed and waxed for spring!

Mid 60s for the forseeable future gave me a great chance to clean off the winter muck and get a nice long ride in today!

I also just did the spring cleaning today... polishing, waxing and some tuning. It's been raining ALL day, so had to squeeze in a pic from inside the garage.

I washed mine a couple weeks ago ... was good until I had to ride home in the rain Friday afternoon ... now it is a total disaster again ...

Can't believe how mucked up it got in just 40 min of riding in the rain ... the wheels are caked with mud ...! The exhaust and parts of the frame and motor have that 'baked on' road mist mess ....

y'alls bikes look great ...

One time I had spent the whole day washing, waxing and polishing the chrome. I ended up going to work that night and the sprinklers came on and drenched the bike. I came out to see freckles from hard water spots all over the chome. That kinda sucked.

Not usually a fan of blue, but that really pops with all of that flake in it.

Mines all waxed and shiny too, but I just can't seem to get the wrinkle black on the cank covers to come totally clean.

I was using Windex to clean the chrome since it was raining outside, and I wasn't bringing the water hose and soap inside. I found the Windex cleaned the wrinkle black real well. It took off the white chrome polish that had mistakenly got stuck on the black. I used a cotton towel.
