Default Cleaned her up today...
Leaving on a 4 day trip tomorrow, so this evening I spent a couple of hours gettin her cleaned up. First time in over 6 months that the whitewalls have actually been white!

I put chrome bolt covers on a few months ago, and they were nice and bright, and all the other chrome was under thousands of miles of road grime. First time I've seen the HD chrome as bright as the bolt covers.

Over the decades I've had many bikes...this one is the only one that I have had that the "new feeling" has not worn off after a few years. Really happy with her!

I use Spray 9 with good results, but it appears your efforts are better rewarded.

That is one shiny ride, my wife uses the magic eraser on her white walls also. I use scrubbing bubbles and a brillo pad. Ride safe….
