[Dafanshu]

internal is more important

[MIloICE]

you guys wash your bike?

means you really spray your bike with water?

or just with a cloth deep into the water and wipe your bike?

or you guys using those wash and wax things?

[rizaldinho]

if its not the rain, its those bangla cleaning the multistorey-carpark.

that one another heartache.

most of the items can get at esso. if not, try autobacs.

internal is more important

but most of the stuff, we'll leave it to the mech besides the regular maintenance.

depends, some just spray with water, while others take seriously when washing their bikes. its all come down to individuals.

I always use a brush and clean my bike with Diesel especially the chain area, and also the engine parts. I avoided degreaser as it eats up my paintwerk if i m not fast enough to rinse it with water, other parts of the bike i use armor all wash and wax..Dun forget to oil ur chain after cleaning.

I have not washed and polished my bike for a month. Somehow I am liking the Mad Max look

 

It will also look much better next time I whip out the chrome polish. More economical than having OCD and polishing daily - you just don't appreciate it when it's too often :3

[mild_slevin]

love to clean her up every once a week...

Yes, for sure the time taken approximately more than 2 hrs... another way to maintain is try wipe down the vehicle with damp cloth daily... greatly minimize dirty build up.

Decided not to let people wash my bike last weekend (there was a charity bike wash invitation).

 

I like my bike to look somewhat worn and well used. She ain't no hangar queen
