Too beautiful a machine to let them look like crap. Ride, clean, repeat.

 

I've been using an electric leaf blower for at least 15 years after washing bike or 4 wheeler. I tried a gas leaf blower once, but it left some fuel residue due to the 2 stroke engine, so I stick to electric.

 

Air compressor with a rubber tipped spray tip works great.

 

lmbo...I detail my scoot twice a year. Have a 40K scoot ya show, detail it!

 

Yeah, that's what I bought mine for, being able to blow leaves makes it a multitasker.

 

Huh? I thought it was a given anyone owned a scoot had a leaf blower? My bad, even the girls at the dealer don't, I do....lmfao

 

Since getting my 2014 48, I try to keep it clean. I am not fanatical about clean every nook and cranny, But the 48 is all about look, so I do a wipe down with spray wax before each ride, (maybe 10-15 mins at most).

 

Clean, yeah. Obsessively detailed? Not any more.

 

You could lick the entire undercarriage of my bike & your tongue would come away clean. Yes; I am OCD about my vehiculars.

 

Less and less the older I get. I'll detail the hell out it, then neglect to even wash it for over a year, rinse repeat. Sometimes I'll keep it clean and shiny. I'm never consistent with this type of thing.
