OK, So my bike has NEVER seen the water until yesterday,,,know it looks like $hit! I read where people say polish it to clean it,, but if I don't want to polish it,, I just want to wash it,, whats the suggestions? just water and rag?? ?

 

Don't know if ya'll heard about the storms in Texas lastnight!!! But thats what I was stuck in!!
NOT FUN!!!

 

I use Mr.Moto spray on wash, spray it let it sit a few and rinse it off, then I dry it and use a spray on cleaner that has wax in it....

 

I hate washing my bike.

I only do it because it take 10 minutes to spray the p21s on, hose off, dry the can, honda shine anything metal or near the instruments.

I will wax the tank because it seems to shine a little when done, but the plastics always look like crap compared to a well painted car. Also, my bike gets used daily, I worry about the water and all the electronics.

 

So the Mr. Moto, or the wax won't hurt the decals if it gets on it? Thats what I'm worried about the most!

 

Man that sucks you were on your bike last night. I was in a cage and happy to be dry. Where are you in Tx?

 

I went to cyclegear and that's what they recommended was the Mr.Moto wash.... kind of looks sissy when washing your bike cuz it's pink....so sometimes I rock a pink bike in my driveway, LOL but seems to work awesome and not damaged anything yet....I used to use the ATV Wash from Liquid Performance on my quads, that stuff works excellent too ............oh yea and the mr.moto is designed to remove road grime, i used it on my engine on my truck and all the coolant resevoirs and what not, made it look like I detailed the engine compartment

 

I'm in the Dallas area,, Northeast Dallas,, Yea Dude, I was hiding under bank drive thru's all sorts of places, It would get bad, die off, and I'd ride, then the wind would get up again,, took me an hour and a half to go from work to the house,, 20 min drive on a clear day,, but the wind sucked!
