i was reading on the US forum, people use windex and all sorts of things to clean there bikes ,in my opinion mr sheen is good for chrome .i am looking for a good polish for the paint work, what do u blokes use?
I use both windex & Mr Sheen on the chrome.I use Meguires NTX to polish the paintwork,and Meguires ScratchX to take any small scratches or swirl marks out of the paint
nobody
I'm lucky I don't have to worry about polishing paintwork, and although I love the look of chrome, I'm not big into spending all my time keeping it clean, BUT, I do recommend Californian Custom Purple metal polish and Meguiars NXT All Metal Polysh. they are both excellent in my opinion. I got heavy, dull pitting out of the triple trees after a week in the salt air along the southern coast. mate I was with used autosol and couldn't get anywhere near the shine and finish I acheived..
Never really had to worry about it much before on a bike, so what do you use to wash it that doesnt cause rust if you leave it? I have some stuff for the wheels that sprays on and hoses off, but what about the rest of it?
I used to use Mr Sheen but now i use Brite Shine and find it much better, i couldnt belive the difference. It is only $10.00 a tin and it lasts for ages.
The cleaning product i always use is called "the wife"
Can you believe my spell checker higlighted it, I then googled the spelling and made sure it was the correct definition (in case there was more than one) and still fucking managed to spell it wrong when I typed it... You can't buy my level of dumb!
Edit for spelling.
I have just been told that insect spray is really good for getting bugs off paint and chrome. This guy told me he uses it on his car and it works really well. Anyone tried it?
Purple polish is a very good product. Wipe on / wipe off.
Not real cheap, but lasts a long time. http://www.calcustom.com.au/
i used the Harley stuff they gave me at PS tonight but forgot the blower vac from work, so had to go for a ride afterwards instead
Spend more time cleaning the bloody thing than riding it. Isnt there a mob in Adelaide that do bike detailing? Might have to get them out when its really bad. Too slack myself
been using windex on chrome for 10 years no rust and live by the sea
