I have read some threads on here and watched vids on cleaning my bike. Heard of using s100, laundry soap to a mild detergent. Please let me know what works for you and what products you think at harmful...looking for tips on paint, chrome and alum wheels. Thanks to all who post and reply! G

 

Laundry soap? wtf

Just use regular old car wash soap. S100 Total Cycle Cleaner is good but make sure the bike is cool then rinse it off first before applying S100 and DO NOT let it set for more than 30 seconds before rinsing it off well.
I usually only use the S100 on aluminum parts like my triple trees, I also use it on my engine and on my wheels. Car wash soap is fine for the rest.

Dont forget to use fabric softener.

 

I use good ole car soap i like the stuff with the wax built in! Wash with cold water. Then i blow dry it dry with a leaf blower that i only use for this! Once dry i look over the bike and detail it with detail spray and microfiber cloth! Good to go and super clean!!!

 

I use ICE car wash, clean the sh*t out of everything, rinse it off, blow it off with an air compressor or leaf blower and then I polish with S100.

The Leaf Blower is most important IMO if you are using water on your bike. It will get alot more water out of the cracks that will cause rust than rubbing it dry will.

 

Oh of course, I hate when I staticly cling to the seat

 

I use car wash soap and soft water from a house tap in one of those sprayers that exterminators use.

 

The best thing I have found is to let someone else do it. and drink a beer and supervise.

 

Wait... Your supposed to wash it. Crap, I've just been riding.
