how clean is your bike

mine is quite rough at the moment, done some overtime this week and going to invest in a karcher snow foam lance and some snow foam.
and based on some recommends on here i picked up some of this today.



Oh yeah and I may have spent on some new gloves Alpinestars SP1

 

Phantom, you have shamed me into cleaning my bike today. I don't know whether to thank you or curse you. It took ages! Please do a video of how you clean it. Slower!

 

me too! the sdoc100 stuff is pretty impressive although it didnt get all the muc off the wheels!
but some gentle caressing with a GT85 soaked cloth sorted it out, followed by some polish and at last the dirty girl is clean

 

That's gleaming, Zip. Nice. I'll put pics up of mine.

 

Think that stuff's amazing for when the bike needs a real good clean, been using it for a few years.

One word of warning though, don't leave it in too long or it with take the colour from the black fasteners and other metal bits. I got caught out when cleaning the bike between work calls, got stuck on one and the end result is silver part that were black!

Still, at least their clean silver parts!

 

To answer the title.. Not very clean is the answer for my bike after my Europe trip. Good clean up needed this weekend me thinks.

 

had mine for a year now and i haven't cleaned it once...

 

thats because thats not my garage....I wouldnt be shooting that as I dont want youtubers
knowing where my bike is stored.

 

rince, muc-off cleaner and degrease spray, scrub tough bits with a brush,
rince off,leather dry, meguires wax, hit with finishing colth and finished....simples
of course you can do a deep clean if you really get into it but thats the quickie
was that gets the bike ready for a weekend blast.
I ride them more than cleaning them so I look for the easy way out :s

 

After 700 miles this weekend mine is pigging. Even though I gave her a mini clean on Friday afternoon before a cruise round the coast road she's in desperate need of some tlc - really should spend a Saturday in the garage but the missus will probably want to do something else...........just cos its her birthday, bloody thoughtless woman.

 

I'm not avin that!

That's a pic you took in the showroom before she'd even turned a wheel!

 

Haha, honest you can just about see the dirt on the chain o-rings from use... Had about 2k on it at that point
