Hi folks,
Wanted to get your input on how you keep your ride clean, and tips on washing your bike.
I live in an apartment complex so I'm not fortunate enough to have a driveway and hose and be able to gently sponge wash my ride. On my previous bike, basically I would go to one of those coin operated car washes, spray it down with some of that S100 motorcycle cleaner that I would bring with me, rinse off with the water sprayer, then dry off. Seemed to work well. In between washings, I would dust off with one of those car dusters.
I didn't have spoked wheels though, so I'm wondering what would be best in cleaning those. I heard some cleaners like Simple Green can actually corrode the spokes and/or any aluminum parts. I was also wondering if there were any recommendatons of any of those spray detail products (that you don't need any water) if those were any good. Or should I just stick with my S100 routine.
Thanks!
