Just wondering how often anyone washes their scoot. How long does it take you?

 

Well, I ride it to work every day, and I go in very early because it always gets bugs on it on the way in plus, in St Augustine, the sprinklers are on. When I get to work I take it over to the aircraft wash rack and do a full detail job. I just can't stand to leave it parked out there with bugs and water spots on it. What would the other employees think? If I go out to lunch, I make sure to do a full filth inspection upon my return and then I go back to work. Wednesday they told me that if i keep it up they're gonna fire me but I don't care. A clean bike is far more important, right? When I get home from work I go ahead and wash it again because I'm pretty sure that if I don't the bugs and dirt will probably never come off and how could i respect myself if i let that happen, ya know? The only problem I have now is that there must be something wrong with the paint because i've noticed that a lot of it appears to be rubbing off. I'm hoping HD will warranty it.

P.S. I'm a little grouchy right now so I felt like being an azzhole......

 

I try to actually avoud breaking out the hose and suds unless the bike is really trashed from gettin caught in the rain.

Most of the time I use a quick detailer, Mothers Chrome Polish and some S10 engine brightener.

Either way, it's time consuming and the more I ride the harder it is to stay on top of it.

 

I wash mine every month or so, maybe every 60 days but it is not a daily rider. I use the quick detailers as well like S100 or Harley Gloss in between washes. I usually use the Harley Glaze polish after the wash.

 

I wash mine about every 3 weeks and use purple slice in between washes.

 

I wash mine every week, use spary cleaner between washes. Every other wash I wax with mequiars gold.

 

Whenever it needs it. Sometimes every week, sometimes every month. Just depends on how much I get caught in the rain.

 

I usually just detail my bike with spray on turtle wax bug and tar remover or mequiars. Never used a hose on it till I went to Nova Scotia and rode in the rain for days. Then it took me 8hrs to clean it. And still it will never be the same. whaaaaa.

 

after every ride..quick detailer.gotta get that brake dust off..

 

I'm a bad bad boy! I don't wash her as often as I should. I would rather ride than wash. I do a bug wipe off and dust off with Pledge.
