Makes blasting a lot easier after a ride.
Yep after each wash very very seldom use the small water blaster I have.
My method
Scrape most of the mud off at the venue with a small plastic 50mm scraper. Better to leave it there than down your home drain.
At home Squirt with a weed sprayer with 20% Dynamo.
Yes Dynamo only no other clothes wash works only Dynamo for some reason and its cheap to compared to professional wash solutions.
Only use 20% max as anymore leaves a film.
If its caked on leave it soak make sure you coat all areas required.
Hose of with your hose on jet mode and take the spa/swim pool restrictor off the tap.
Have bulk CRC or Wd40 poured into a window cleaner squirt bottle give it a coating.
Then oil wipe the fork tubes and oil chain before putting it away.
And dont leave the thing a week before you clean it.
Ps I use the dynamo solution for the windows, house, decks, and sometimes the first wash on the road bikes before the M/quires and a soft brush.
