    Do you really use truck wash?

    It's completely rusted out our old stainless buckets........

    Just something to think about!
    Cats land on their feet. Toast lands jamside down.
    A cat glued to some jam toast will hover in quantum indecision


    Curiosity was framed; ignorance killed the cat

    Fix a computer and it'll break tomorrow.
    Teach its owner to fix it and it'll break in some way you've never seen before.

    I am always a bit nervous of things that work REALLY well without effort, on one of my older bikes i found prepsol was really good for cleaning the fairings, after 2 or 3 cleans i realized that the prepsol was etching the paint a bit and took away the shine ... its not "supposed" to effect paint...

    So i still do the slow way with low-powered cleaners

    Clean your bike gently with the right products, or don't bother. Harsh cleaning with a waterblaster is not going to make you happy in the long run...
    Ride fast or be last.

    I clean my bike with petrol, just apply a heavy amount on your tank and fairings. It works a treat, I learnt this from short-circuit he told me it will work wonders on my bike. Since I trust him so much I even pour petrol on other peoples bikes when I get the chance, they will thank me in a year when there paint job will be immaculate.

    Dont pour petrol on your tank or fairings it helps if you pour the petrol in the tank.

    Once dry I go over with Plexus plastic cleaner/polish. This stuff moves bits of tar and bugs and so forth while being safe on all paint and plastics. Polishes up as good as any wax in 10% of the time.
    Silicon spray on a cloth then wiped over rubber/plastic lines cable bundles etc.
    +1 - SC1 for silicone spray
