Wash Day!

I've heard conversation coming out of animal pens that is more intelligent than what is going on in here.

I don't have any photos right now. Heard Shout works really good have yet to try it though. Not a fan of pressure washers don't want to risk ruining a seal, damaging electronics, or pushing grease out. Some day I'll pick up a scraper for mud, but I rarely ride in mud to begin with so yeah :D. Just mainly dust for me so clean up is easy.

Heres what I use:
- Various size cleaning brushes from Lowe's
- Squirt bottle filled with warm water and concentrated Mr.Clean
- Garden hose

I am sponsored by Slick Products and there products are great if you burn a moto and wash after the moto. For my application i needed something stronger and i had used Super Clean in the past and it works extremely well but it will also dull some finishes. Here is a before and after from today.

I mixed my Super Clean with Dawn dish soap today and the extra foam seemed to hold the super clean on surfaces, was very pleased.

Also this is ZERO hand washing, car gets washed torn down repaired/checked after this initial wash and then put back together sprayed down and wiped clean with some good "slickum" to give it that shine.

You probably wouldn't find bike washing very interesting either if you didn't have a sponsor to plug. :lol:

Hose with super cool water style selector (normally set to jet or shower) with simple green, bucket of Dawn and water, rag, my hands/arms and soft scrub for boot marks on frame or other stuff that won't come off otherwise.

Would be nice if there was a compiled list on the internet of most cleaners and their PH scale.
