barely legal racing Posted July 19, 2006 Report Share Posted July 19, 2006 best things ive found to clean my bike is i steam clean it really good, let it dry, take a can of tire foam and spray on the plastic and seat and anything thats plastic anywhere, let sit til it gets a little tacky, then wipe off with a cloth really good, it really shines!!, for the wheels and pipes i use an sos pad, scrub good but not too hard, wash off let completely dry, then use mother's aluminum wax or metal wax, i bought the powerball but that was a waste of 40 bucks, so i use a terry cloth to put it on, rub it til it gets black all over, then i buff it off really good with another terry cloth...when i get done i again use another terry cloth to buff even more (a clean one ), and its like a mirror! bike looks bitchin when i get done, but its hard work cuz it just gets dirty the next day! you guys wouldnt believe what a simple SOS pad will clean i was amazed!

spunmonkey Posted July 22, 2006 Report Share Posted July 22, 2006 I use simple green on everything the bottle will reach. And then grab some WD-40 for any stubborn grease like when i flip my bike and oil leaks out that overflow tube all over everything in its path. Then a bit more simple green and soap to finish. Some steel wool on the metal and polish it up with some mothers cleaner stuff and every once in a while i will bust out the buffer and do the plastics.

kb01shee Posted July 23, 2006 Report Share Posted July 23, 2006 If you have white plastics Soft Scrub will get out light stains. I say white because it has bleach in it I don't know what it would do a differnt color plastic. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BansheeRider71 Posted July 23, 2006 Report Share Posted July 23, 2006 I use Simple Green also and it works better than anything else i've used. Not sure about the hondabrite though. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
