Yeah, I did . It sux. Have to rinse with a million gallons of water. It can cause streaking. I will just stick with my Cycle Care washes and waxes. If you have a small area that you have gotten very olily or greasy, it will take it off easy, just be sure to rinse very well. As for just normal washing the bike, I wouldnt use it again.

I think it's pretty good stuff. Never seems to get my rear fender clean for some odd reason though.

If you wash it won't it get all wet? I don't want my bike to get all wet. It's bad enough when I ride in the rain....I'm not going to get it wet on purpose especially if I'm not even riding it when it gets wet. Why that's just silly.

after using Glare polish...... just use the quarter car wash with no spot rinse. Wipe down with microfiber towels...... looks showroom bright and clean. Takes 20 minutes. No more "detailing" for me.......

Oh yea, this way you get your weekly shower (whether you need it or not) . . . personally I carry a tooth brush and some hiar conditioner for the rince cycle . . . if it's one of those washes with the whirling mop things I just bare my teeth and I can save on the tooth paste as well . . . LMAO
