5 Steps for Cleaning And Detailing Your Motorcycle

1. DRENCH


When the bike is cool to the touch, gently hose off mud and grime. Some guys skip this step, but I can't, since I run my bikes off- as well as on-road.

2. DEGREASE


Remove oily residue with a degreaser like Gunk; use brake cleaner for really nasty buildup.

3. CLEAN THE CHAIN


Work a solvent-soaked rag along the chain, removing oil and debris while also straightening out any kinks.

4. SOAP 'ER UP!


Clean surfaces with a very mild dish-detergent solution. Use a toothbrush to get into hard-to-reach areas.

5. BUFF


Polish all metal and painted surfaces. Apply paste sparingly or you'll waste a lot of time removing chalky residue.
