Cleaning Banshee


Recommended Posts

I've seen most of your shees, and the thing that puzzles me the most, is how the hell do you keep them so clean and spotless, I mean like the engines are so clean, the plastics are spotless, how do you guys do it? :confused:

You have to pressure wash it with soap and water after you ride, don't let it sit dirty. I always roll my bike in the backyard and hit it good with the pressure washer, wipe down the plastics with a rag, and then wipe the wheels off, pipes, and anything shiny. It usually takes about 30 minutes to an hour.

 

Something else to do which helps keep your plastics from collecting so much dirt, more or less mud, is to wipe them down with armor all after you clean them. The dirt that does get on them doesn't stick as bad and cleans up much easier. If you have a lighter color of plastic (like white), simple green works great to take out any dirt stains. :cheers:

i use castrol super clean. wet the bike down, spray the plastics with the super clean, and hose it down. Then spray the engine and pipes heavily with super clean, let it sit for a minute, and hose it off. Thats pretty much it, go over it with a towel and dry it. if it is really dirty i take off the pipes and silencers and hit them up with mothers polish, makes it look great! I may even take off all the plastic if it is that bad. It takes a couple hours but the end result is worth it!

i use Greased Lightning. just spray it on and let it set for about 5 minutes, then spray it with either the water hose or the pressure washer. you dont even have to scrub anything with that stuff, and a waterhose takes it off just great. just dont spray it on polished aluminum, that shit will etch it bad, and you will have to repolish it.

If you clean it up after every ride, it really isn't hard to keep clean.

 

Spray engine off with carb cleaner to get rid of fuel overflow under the carbs.

 

Stay out of mud.
