[Gathering] Bike Wash Thread

[pureice68]

yup, a very cheap and effective product, all thanks to ezzyoiler!

Bike still looking good despite almost 2 weeks since the last wash.

any one has a car/bike inner tube..cut up the tube near the valve..

then secure/seal end near valve with ties or whatever. the other end install a small dia pipe.

to clean dirty areas sprinker or apply soap to it...

the tube fill with water the valve end connect to air supply ie air pump, inflated tyre or whatever pressurise air source...now you have power sprayer to clean dirty areas..

 

alternatively, u can also get a pressure sprayer for plants.

Have used @ D'Zali @ west and central and was pretty efficent.

 

1.5l is enuff to wash bike liao.

Foot pump operated pressure washer!

 

Only downside is even a small foot pump weighs 1.5kg or so.

Oops, I too forgotten the name liao! It has '101' in it together! I'll try to take a pix of if for ya! So far so good, as chemical not harming my visors at all! Just apply a layer with tissue/cloth and let it dry, afterwhich use a clean & dry tissue/cloth to lightly wipe it clear. Be sure not to rub too hard until the chemical comes out completely.

Last time I tried that the visor and my mirrors fogged up completely.

 

Next time I'll just use the cafe racer goggles :3

This solution not curing fogging but to repel rain bro! The underside of the visor & mirror have to use anti-fog spray which you can get from Optical shops.

total time shld be 5min to sparkling clean
