Tips for motorbike cleaning

1. The first areas to clean are the greasy areas, for example the wheels and the engine. It is a good idea to use a brush for this to ensure that you are able to clean all the spokes.

2. Secondly, wash the motorbike all over with a cleaner. Do not use washing up liquid for this as it removes the wax from the motorbike. Another good idea is to have two separate sponges, one for washing dirty areas and one for areas that aren’t quite so dirty – this should prevent the paintwork from being scratched.

3. Rinse off the cleaner with some clean warm water and then chamois the motorbike to prevent water marks remaining.

4. Then carefully apply wax onto the motorbike details, leave on for a minute, then wipe off with a clean and soft cloth. Make sure that you don’t apply wax in direct sunlight as this will make cleaning the wax quite difficult.

5. Finally wash the windscreen with warm soapy water to remove any dirt and rinse with clean water. Then dry fully and clean with a glass cleaner – this will prevent any smears on the glass.
