How does everyone clean their bikes?

1. rinse off the bulk and loose stuff.
2. Formula 88 diluted to 40%with water, spray it all over the bike top to bottom.
3. wait a minute after covering the bike
4. Rinse it all off. No rubbing needed ever.
5. Use a leaf blower to dry most of the water, towel dry the rest.
6. Finish 2000 wax after a couple rides, helps the mud slide off.
7. I coat the underside of my bike (plastics) w/ Mud Release and Silicone/WD-40 spray (everything else) before every ride.
8. I also use Silicone tire dressing foam on tires and plastic as well.


Is that too anal?

Its a cleaner/degreaser, I usually get it from Home Depot.

spotless

i wash mine with soap, water, and a soft brush. then i dry the it with a dog grooming blower, much better than a leaf blower. i remove my seat, and cover my grips with rags, and spray the entire thing with a foaming tire shine. it looks brand new, and the mud does not stick.

Have not tried these two steps yet, the wax and silicone foam wont hurt anything will it????????? I'm a freak and I have to ask!

Im thinking of waxing the yellow parts and silicone foam the black parts. Will this work?
Yeah, don't get the wax on the black plastic. The easiest thing to do once its clean it cover it in tire foam. Makes it look like new.
Yeah I found that out the hard way tonight! I just did a few spots tonight with turtle wax. I'm thinking of taking the racks off and doing the whole thing.
