Default One of the best things I've bought for the bikes

Got sick of using a leaf blower to dry the bikes after washing, and ended up buying one of
These These
. Works great and is easier to maneuver around the bike without worrying about scratching it. Also, the air is heated to assist in drying. I mounted mine to a shelf just inside the garage door and the hose is long enough to reach around the bike when it's in the driveway.

I am still using the leaf blower for now, but will have to keep this in mind for the future.

More often than not I use quick detail spray on the bike but when it does get a full wash I use the smaller sidekick version of the airforce 1. Small, lightweight, and works great. I use it on the car to get the water out of the cracks, mirrors, lights, & wheels when washed also.

I used to also, but have found that a dose of s100 and a heated dryer and I'm clean enuf to ride again even after getting caught in the rain.

Save the full detailing stuff for a real rainy day where I know I won't be riding.

Best investment I ever made.

Definitely makes bike washing less of a pain...I went with the Air Shammy which is pretty much the same, but made in USA + cheaper. Works great & all the leaf blower/air compressor users haven't had the pleasure of seeing what a little debris can do to your tins, or are waiting for problems by blowing water into areas that don't mix well w/motor...JMO. Enjoy & rant awayyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyy!!!
