  • How to clean your motorcycle - A Beginner's Step-by-Sep Guide
    In this video, I show my friend AJ, The Honest Biker, How to Clean her Motorcycle, and explain the do’s and don’ts when washing a bike!
    As you’ll see AJ demonstrates that you can have fun when cleaning your motorbike!
    AJ's bike was left outside over the winter months, and although it had a cover on it, it was looking a little sorry for itself. Instead of me cleaning the entire bike, I was keen to teach her my easy step-by-step approach to washing a motorcycle, and demonstrate to her my techniques, so AJ can learn how to transform the bike herself.
    Autobrite Direct kindly gifted me a selection of their products which I recently tried out on my motorcycle, a Triumph Speed Triple 1050 S but will they work on a bike that has been left outside for a few months?
    In this video, I'll show you step-by-step, how to Pre-Wash your Motorcycle and remove all the dirt, grime, unwanted oil, and road salts using Autobrite Extreme Bike Cleaner and Magifoam. After Shampooing the Bike, AJ and I then you how easy it is to apply ACF50 and Autobrite Ceramic Spray which will protect the bike throughout the year.
    Don't worry, if you are new to motorcycling this step-by-step video makes it clear and easy to understand, and AJ certainly shows you how much fun you can have cleaning your motorbike!

    This channel is beyond fire. So much detail and knowledge presented in a calm and relaxing way, no over exaggerating nonsense with music on full blast. I’m following your how to wash too the teeth. How you don’t have 10000+ subs is beyond me. Hope you make a tutorial on how to photograph your bike. Keep up the excellent work. New sub from me.

      Thanks for your kind comment and encouragement, I’m pleased you like what you see. I’m still learning, especially with presenting in front of the camera, but love what I do and enjoy sharing my tips, experiences and of course test riding bikes. I will for sure be creating a photography tutorial series! Thanks again for your support! 😊👍

    I've just got a V Strom 650 and it's in pristine condition. I didn't look after my Honda Hornet as well as I would have like when I had it, and it started to fall to bits. I want to do everything I can to care for my Strom, so I'm doing a lot of research on cleaning bikes to make sure I know what to do
    This video has given me so much confidence. To see you walking through the steps with someone less confident has made me feel like I'll be just fine :)
    Thanks!

    I used to valet vehicles and it is always best to use a separate dedicated bucket and clean the wheels and chain first..
    I first use chain cleaner and clean the chain with chain brush then rinse off with water, I then clean the wheels.. using wheel cleaner.. then rinse off.. the reason you do the dirty parts first is so you don't splash dirty greasy, oily water over clean parts.. because this will be hard to remove with a rinse because of the oil and grease..

    • @TheAdventuresofPhilJones
      @TheAdventuresofPhilJones  Рік тому +1

      That’s a very valid point, if you watch my video The Best Way to Wash your Motorcycle I do start with the chain, I think I must have been having too much fun with AJ and her humour melted my brain! Thanks for commenting and watching the video! 😁👍

    Hi Phil , good to see a dirty bike getting a decent clean and acf 50 coating , I have never used the stuff on my own bikes but I need to try it .👍 And you and AJ having a bit of a laugh doing the job as well , good fun . You can start your own motorcycle detailing business soon .😁

    • @TheAdventuresofPhilJones
      @TheAdventuresofPhilJones  Рік тому

      Hi! Yeah, it certainly came up well I’m pleased to say. Let me know if you give acf50 a try, they say it keeps working for 12 months but I like to apply twice a year, just before the riding season and at the end before winter, I’ve got a full video or two all about acf50. That is something that has been suggested, that might take the fun out of cleaning bikes for me! 🤷‍♂️😁 Thanks for watching! 👍

    quick question - how does the ceramic coating affect the acf-50 and vice versa (if at all)? - is it known to be good together, great videos and thanks!
