Wind and rain is how I keep my bike clean. Too busy riding to wash it.

I use s100 to wash the bike, then I dry it with a leaf blower. For a shine Harley gloss works great. And yes.... it will work for non HD bikes.

My trick is one a year I use the Mothers 3 step wax process and pure carnuba wax paste as a final step. This keep the bike protected for the season.

I am kind of particular because I made the investment in a custom paint job and I want it to look good for a long time. You can check out my Custom dyna on the Cruiseified community http://cruiseified.com in the photo gallery. It is the candy tangerine bike with the ghost flames and Midevil skulls.

For a cheaper wash a few of my friends swear by simple green. but I have never tried it.

How many more times are we going to go over this. Why doesn't TMW set up a Forum for "Cleaning Products Our Posters Like", where we can all list what cleans our bikes? Then this question won't ever have to be asked again.

Bubba, are you implying that we should delete things when they get old?

I guess that's one alternative to Retirement Homes and Social Security.

I use car products. I wash every 1-2 weeks. I like the shine. I wax once or twice a year as bug gut protection.
