Full Wash two or three times a year (extra in the winter if lots of salt on the road) between washing when she is not as shinny as she should be use some spray polish keeps her looking great and takes on mins.

Use the Wizard product line.... http://shop.techncyclegear.com/Wizar...E.qscstrfrnt04

 

I use Mequires Quik Detail. Dish detergent WILL remove any wax. If I do have to wash it I try to thoroughly dry it with a leaf blower

 

I guess I'm officially suffering from OCD. Bike's washed at least once a week, sometimes more. Detailing spray once-over daily. I can't stand having crap on it...it's gotta be showroom shiny when I hit the road. I enjoy doing it too..I find it relaxing to clean the bike when I get home from a day of riding

 

Since black shows any kind of dirt, I wash my bike about every week or two, depending on the miles I ride. Blow dry with electric blower. Wax about 2 times a year. Love a clean ride.

 

Haven't used anything but Dri-Wash on my bikes for the past 20 years!

 

..I wash mine about every 2 or 3 weeks, more often if needed..lightly spary it down with hose, watch the elctrical switches, then spray it with S 100, let sit for a minute or two, in the shade of course, then wipe the tank and fenders with a micro fiber, then rinse it off with the ionized? part of the Mr. Clean system, then give it a blow dry..

 

I wash it with carwash and wax soap, blow it off with a leaf blower, pledge the painted surfaces,and windshield and use chrome polish on the chrome, and blue magic on the aluminum, takes about 1½- 2½ hours once every other week or so when it's warm, not as often when it starts getting cold out.

 

I use a car wash soap, that is designed to not leave water spots. Don't remember what it is called but I got it from Auto Zone.


And you should not use dish soap to wash vehicles, unless you plan on waxing after the wash, because dish soap removes wax.

 

At our shop, we use this, Optimum No Rinse....

Got to keep it clean, but I usually detail mine in the garage big door open with the rain falling. A very relaxing way to spend an evening when it is to wet to ride
