      Thank you :) I am a part time professional detailer so I do know a thing or two about proper washing techniques, as much as motorcycles, detailing is another one of my hobbies :) I wish I could talk more about paint correction etc, and I may, but it would be out of the scope for this channel! * thinking about it, maybe I will make a video specifically for motorcycles :)

    • @ALLDAYANTHONY
      @ALLDAYANTHONY 8 років тому

      Haha I think we would be friends then! I also detail on the side and use a PC 7424. I keep my evo flawless, but the speed triple is black and we all know how black is to maintain, plus I have no idea how much clear coat triumph used on that thing. So correcting on my bike isn't my top priority. I know what you mean though, most motorcyclist aren't as OCD about paint as long as the bike is running haha. Whereas for me, that shit haunts me in my dreams

    • @carswithsonduren
      @carswithsonduren  8 років тому

      Yes you can wash your bike with a shampoo weekly if you like, but there would be no need to reapply the wax weekly. Depending on wax or sealant you use, you have 2-6 months of protection. Now if your washing your car every week, make sure to keep your chain lubed frequently.

    I haven't washed a bike with anything but a light spray cleaner (Meguire's EZ clean) and a microfiber cloth, or a plastic razor and a citrus cleaner for the really stuck on stuff. I haven't put water on a bike in over 10 years, and if I do end up in a rain situation, I take the wheels off and clean the hubs and use chain cleaner and apply fresh lube to both the axles and the chain/sprockets. But maybe I'm a bit too obsessive, idk.

I'm not interested in "best" appearance during the winter, but I am interested in knowing your thoughts about the best way to wash and prevent corrosion when the weather isn't great. I'm also wondering what you think the best way to remove light corrosion is? I have very small amounts of corrosion on the brake rotors, on the exhaust and the rear sprocket. Thanks for any ideas your have!

      I know this is a very late reply, but I highly recommend ACF-50 or similar products to anyone who reads this and thinks about how to prevent corrosion. You can apply them in a mist (cover the brakes and wheels first!) and you will get excellent protection against salt and other corrosive agents. Some people don't even bother to wash the bike and just apply ACF-50 (or again some other product) and their bikes are rust-free...

    Still looking for a definitive guide on this. Everyone does it differently. What about electronics? what do you cover? Many videos say to clean/ lube the chain before washing? WHY? Wont water wash away any lube? Handle bar switches are not waterproof. I know motorcycles are made for rain, but ever take one apart that has some mileage? Dust and dirt gets in there and adding water created mud or more buildup over time. You can never get it all out. Power washing can force water into exposed connectors, causing electrical shorts as well as expedite corrosion or rust...etc. I can go on and on. I like this video, but my brain thinks there has to be a better way to keep a bike clean and preserve its longevity. I liked this video, but as I look to doing my first ever wash on my new (110 miles) motorcycle (my first bike ever), I'm looking for clear and concise answers.

    It's generally not considered a good idea to use a pressure washer on bikes. At least not a powerful one. They have been known to break seals and get water into the electronics and places you really don't want water. Apart from that, the safety aspect and separating what brushes you use is a good mention. Had I not watched this I likely would've made that mistake by just trying to wring them out each time😅

      Hey Nasir welcome to the channel man! I would recommend making sure if it's an older bike you be careful around the wiring or any exposed wiring and for any bike around the chain especially if it has just been lubed. most new modern bikes you don't need to worry about too much anything important will be covered and sealed from water. General rule don't point a pressure washer to close to anything

    Hello there, great video and straight to the point! I got a question for you cause I recently got a Monster 1200s and it's my first bike with advance electronics and a chain drive.. Do you lubricate the chain everytime you wash the bike? And is there any areas to cover prevent water from damaging anything? Thanks

    • @carswithsonduren
      @carswithsonduren  8 років тому

      So with the Monster 1200s, you will want to make sure you dint point the pressure washer tip close and directly to the electrical components. Water is fine as a slow soft stream on this components or a pressure wash from a distance. I personally DON'T lubricate after every wash, though some people do. If you are doing a deep clean wash then yes, afterwords go ahead. I tend to lubricate per factory recommendations. No areas need to be covered, these motorcycles were designed to be protected from the rain

    I currently use a ultrasonic device which can read depth over various materials (carbon fiber, plastic etc) they are a bit pricey (1000+) but worth it imho. do some digging, finding a deal shouldn't be too hard.

    Nice video. I do have one question. Do you not need to lube the chain after a wash like that or did you do it and it was not in the video? I am a new rider and just want to know as I don't mess up my chain.

    • @carswithsonduren
      @carswithsonduren  3 роки тому +1

      When you're washing your motorcycle just be cognizant not to specifically try to scrub down your chain and spray it down with chemicals removing the lube. I would say you don't need to re lube your chain after a wash, but if it's already dry go ahead.

    hello man i live in a very muddy area it oftens rain here my air intake gets caked up mud most of the time any suggestions should i pressure wash it or wash it manually with tooth brush ??

    • @carswithsonduren
      @carswithsonduren  3 роки тому

      Hey welcome to the channel! I would actually highly suggest you always try to pressure wash as much of the dirt and grime off as possible before touching it with any brush or mitt. Though once you've done that yes a brush and a mitt is the next step just be cautious not to rub so much of that mud and dirt into the paint 👍

      Depending on how bad the swirls are; Meguiars Ultimate Polish or Meguiars Ultimate Compound for deeper swirls and scratches.
