Well, I'm gonna give my bike it's first wash this week. Was wondering if anyone knows or has any recommendations as to the best products to use for washing and waxing the bike. Can I just use car washing products and Turtle Wax or Armour All?

 

I just use regular car washing soap (don't remember the name) and some simple green on the wheels

 

DO NOT use armor all. if you put that on your tires, you'll be right on your a$$ once you turn. Use simple green, just make sure you dilute it thats some strong business

 

DO NOT PUT ANYTHING ON YOUR TIRES.

 

Yeah I've heard of guys takin' spills cuz their tires got all slick. The most I'll do is probably wipe it down with water and some mild soap. If I do use that simple greens stuff, how do I use it? or should I stay away from the tires completely?

 

Just wipe them down with a rag and some water. There really isnt really any reason to use soap. And it's not a problem to do the wheels. Just make sure you wipe the edges of the tires down when you are done if you think any soap got on them.. As long as they are dull when they dry, then they should be good to go.

 

I recommend ProtectAll or Honda Polish after you wash the bike. I use ProtectAll and it's amazing stuff.

 

Thanks guys! I've heard a lot of people recommend the Honda Spray, even the bike shop guys, so I think I'll try that stuff out and let you all know.

 

where can u get protect all? Wallmart?

 

I let the rain take care of all my motorcycle hygiene.
