Water and soap or stuff like Honda Spray Polish is all you need. dragonium25 06-15-2006, 01:38 PM Oh yeah, I don't clean my bike that often cuz I'd rather spend the time ridin'. snowrider 06-15-2006, 02:23 PM I do alot of night riding sothe bugs are bad. Also a good freind that has a R6 lives on a gravle road the dust on his road just will not stay down. I should stop riding with him. AZ1000rr 06-15-2006, 03:15 PM either stop, or buy a dirt bike/motard....lol...just kidding.... snowrider 06-15-2006, 03:51 PM I have been thinking about that because the other night me and my freind raced down his road and he lost it. He is still picking rocks out of back. NOchknstrips 09-03-2006, 03:07 AM What you could do is wash it once with a soap you would use for dishes. These soaps have degreasers in them and will cut wax and contaminants off your bike. Then you want to clay bar it and get the rest of the gunk out of it. Then use a good canuba wax. After that you want to use a qaulity car wash when you want to wash the bike. These are designed to keep the waxes on your paint. I re wax every 5 or so washes I may hit it with a quick detail wax in between. This will help keep your clear coat safe. JLeosnow 09-06-2006, 12:22 AM I feel that there is no harm done as I clean my bike after every ride also. I usually use Honda Spray polish a do a wax job on the 4th ride/cleaning. I probably only have to spend 20-40 minutes on each clening though as compared to your 2 hours..... -John |
