[OWN4GE]

ok thx mate ill look in to it

[mad man]

drop da engine out and put it on a bench, use metal polish i cant remember the name off it, but it cleans it and then leaves it shiney, i think its called autosoul or autosole

[OWN4GE]

ok thx m8.......

[cameronh]

Degreaser works pretty well for getting the dirt off and yeah that autosol is awsome for making it shiny.

[OWN4GE]

ok thx heaps m8

[rmboi93]

yea its called autosol metal polish u can get it from super cheap for 10 buks or so, i polishes up my 125 2stroker head and it came out prety good, i used a drill with a lil polisher conection thing to get the hard bits.

Cheers,

wen u wash the bike use this truckwash called ct18, spray it on let it sit for a minute or so, then after u wash it off u can spray wd40 on the bike
that cleans it real good

[OWN4GE]

ok thanks mate

[rmboi93]

hey with the ct18 truck wash, if u have a realy expensice bike i wouldnt sugest puting it on ur rims (if their standard) due to it can make them cloudy, and you should leave the truck was on for atleast half an hour, the longer its on the beter it works, and i used to put wd40 on my bike but dirt used to stick to everything, great idea though.

[OWN4GE]

[OWN4GE]

[mistermxer]

i wash mine after each ride, but i on;y use a gurny, and truck wash, and what that don't move, stays there... simple

[OWN4GE]

hahahahahaha fair enoughf hahahaha

[mike249cc]

i would reccomend a product called Blitz aluminium cleaner
it is an acid and you spray it on leave for the 10 minutes a either hose and brush it off.
that gets any stains off bare metal gets it bvack to new condition
and yes it is safe buy from hardware stores thanks

[Sidney]

yeah is that blitz stuff a pink colour?


at work I have to clean up greasy/ dirty car transmissions and I have to spray this pink stuff on.

Come back 5 mins later and hose it all off and it looks brand spankin new.

[samhouston]

Whatever you do dont use the Blitz Aluminium Cleaner. If it goes on your spokes, or any other coated metal, they will lose all there shine and go black, it eats away everything so be VERY CAREFUL. The best way to keep your bike clean is to wash it as soon as you can, and make sure you get everything off, if the dirt doesnt have time to set and eat into anything, it makes it so much easier. I have been racing now for 14 years and everyone always asks me how at the end of a season my bike still looks new. There is no secret to it, just get them clean as soon as possible and make sure it stays that way.

Also CT20 is much better than CT18, helps to keep the shine in your plastics for longer as it is much less abrasive.

[*GOOCH*]

i just stop in at carlovers on my way home blast the bike down for 10 mins


only downside is iv lost all my stickers :( except the factory graphics ..


looks brandnew every time except for the paint rubbed off of the frame .

[huddyexcf]

i just used easy off bam when me and a friend were cleaning his bike, and it worked very well it looks brand new. BAM AND THE DIRT IS GONE...:p

[RM-HARLEY]

where can i find this CT20?

wd40 helps the dirt sticking on the bike

[patch1234]

I just get one of those bottles of truck wash that clip onto your hose, Then i spray the whole bike down with that, Leave it for about 5-10 minutes and then wash it all off with a pressure cleaner.....too easy... :p

[Brantholemuel]

i just dont wash it......




joking,na i usually just get like degreaser and let it soak and then depending on my mood i may get kero and a toothbrush but it is VERY rare..lol

[mistermxer]
