Default Recommended cleaning/detail products

Recently purchased a new bike. First bike I have owned. I was wondering what everyone uses to clean and detail their bikes?

I would recommend Meguires Gold Class car wash/shampoo, #7 for polishing and #26 Hi Tech wax or their NXT 2.0 wax for the painted surfaces. Also recommend mothers chrome polich for the chrome. Be sure to get yourself some good quality microfiber towels. Another thing you may want to consider is some sort of dryer as it makes drying tight hard to reach places easy to dry. Congrats on the new bike and welcome to HDForums. Ride safe.

You might want to check the detailing section. I find that everyone has thier own preferences with detailing products. http://hdforums.com/forum/detailing-27/

Welcome!! I use same stuff that I have for my autos, pretty much whats on sale when I need more. THEN I use Orange Pledge to shine the chrome and all painted surfaces too. works for me, ymmv. and a +1 on the blow dryer for the hard to reach spots. I just use my leaf blower and try not to concentrate the air on any one spot just so I do not force moisture into someplace it is not good to have like instruments or anything electrical. enjoy the ride, be safe
