Beautify Your Motorcycle in 10 Minutes

Start with the greasy areas: suspension, wheels, engine. Use a degreaser and a soft brush to prevent scratching. Rinse with cycle cleaner. Household detergent can cause corrosion.

Spray the entire motorcycle with a name brand cycle cleaner.

Hose the bike off softly with tap water. Dry the entire machine with clean terry cloth or a chamois.

Squirt motorcycle detail wax on all chrome, aluminum, stainless steel and painted parts, putting particular emphasis on the fenders, the gas tank and the chrome.

Wipe the wax off immediately with clean, dry terry cloth.

Use a name brand wheel wash on mag wheels, or scrub each spoke on spoke wheels with warm, soapy water. Rinse and dry both wheels.

Wash the windshield, if you have one, with warm, soapy water. Rinse, and dry with clean terry cloth.

Lubricate the chain.
