Default Re: How to clean my bike

i've found that turtlewax ice is a good polish to use weekly as its nice and quick, easy to use and can be used on every part of the bike. going to buy some better polish to use once a month when i give it a real good clean.

Give it a good clean and if its very dirty take the fairings off and give it a good scrub. i use stuff from halfords i used:

de greaser - muckoff ( toget the crap off the chain and all the greasy crap else where)
Protectant - muckoff (spray this on once the bike is dry and clean it will help the crap to stop sticking to the bike, use on the hard to get area once its clean)
Wd40 (gets the oily bits off)
Chain lube - PJ1 Blue label from the motorbike section
auto gym polish
Auto sole ( for the metal bits)BET YOU HAVE CLEAN FEET...LOL
Shampoo ( i use a non smearing one)
disk break cleaner - muckoff

i degrease all the bits that need doing like the chain if it look cruddy, then wash the bike with water first them warm water with shampoo and a soft sponge. then rinse off the shampoo with the hose. dry the bike with a towel or you can get the blue paper towel from halford which also works well. i then used the wd40 on any other oil flickers and to clean the wheels better. then i usedthe polish and leave that on for a sec and then take it off. then i use the auto sole polish for any bits that need doing. i then give the break disks a clean with break disk cleaner.

and then it should be looking all nice and shiny
