Ok, so I will be honest, I have had so much fun riding these past 5 years that the bike has only got the manditory maintenance and the obligitory powerwash once in a while. Well the time has come that it needs way more than that. So I figured that before I get into the swing of riding I would get the rims off and and give them a serious clean and that would be a good time to give the rest of the bike a serious cleaning.
What does everyone recommend for a good spray on/let soak wheel cleaner? I plan on pulling the wheels, seats, windshield, bags and possibly a few other things.
Plan on also getting one of those mothers powercone/ball things to help polish up the wheels after they get a good cleaning.
I have used the mothers powercone/ball and I didn't think it worked very well. I just use a spray chrome wheel cleaner let it set for a bit and rinse it off. Works good enough for me.
For the love of Pete.. Stop using a power washer on your bike.. If you haven't yet, it's just a matter of time before you squirt the wrong part.. Friendly advise..

If you're going to go through all the trouble of covering all those parts so you can blast it with Super high pressure water, which will cause the salt and sand particles to put micro scratches on what ever surface they are pushed across by the water, why not just take that time and wash it properly?:hmm2:
