Every motorcyclist definitely prefers to ride, but after a long-distance travel, motorcycles often become less shiny. At this time, professional cleaning can make it return to be shiny. But if it is not properly cleaned, the situation of the motorcycles will get worse. Next let's take a look at the 10 tips of the professional team for cleaning.
Remove the fuel tank bag, luggage bag and anything else that cannot be wet, such as GPS. Have all the washing tools ready. You will use buckets, motorcycle lift, cleaning agents, insect cleaning agents, degreasers, engine cleaners, toothbrushes, WD40 lubrication rust inhibitors, tire cleaning brushes, tire cleaning agents, polishing glazing, cotton cloth, sponges, etc.
Don't go to those commercial four-wheeled car washing shops and try to do it yourself. Don't wash your motorcycle on the road because it is dangerous. Don't flush your motorcycle immediately after a long drive. Let the motorcycle cool down. Do not use cold water directly on a hot engine. And don't wash your motorcycle at noon or in direct sunlight, because the sun will not wait for you to come and remove the stains on the surface of the motorcycle, the water has evaporated. Moreover, some minerals contained in tap water are more active at high temperatures, which tend to leave marks on the motorcycle and they can be difficult to remove. Do not wash the motorcycle on the grass because those chemical solvents can have a fatal effect on the plant.
Regular motorcycle washing can help you find problems you may have on your motorcycle as early as possible, such as leaking oil or damaged parts. Keeping the bugs on the motorcycle for a long time will make future work even more difficult. And if there are bugs stuck on the radiator, it will easily cause overheating problems for a long time. However, if the motorcycle washing is excessive, it may wash off some lubricants on the wire, and damage the motorcycle. If you are riding a long distance and the motorcycle is full of dirt, you need to carry out a thorough cleaning immediately. If it is a short trip, then a simple cleaning is OK.
Do not overuse water. Use a suitable detergent. Exaggeratedly, every part of the motorcycle needs a professional cleaning agent. Pay attention to those household detergent that are abrasive or versatile, because they can damage painted or chrome-plated parts. If using detergents, make sure their pH is between 6-8. In addition, you must confirm whether the cleaning agent poses a safety hazard. For example, do not use vinyl cleaner in the cushion area, because it will cause slipping. If you plan to use a strong detergent, you must wear rubber gloves.
High-pressure water guns are indeed very effective at removing long-term dirt, but they also allow water to enter the electrical part or into certain cracked areas where water will cause the parts to rust. Therefore, if you use a high-pressure water gun, you should avoid spraying on electrical parts, chains, seats, etc., just focus on the tires and body shells. If you must use a high pressure water gun, the recommended pressure is no more than 2000 psi.
You should use different wiping tools for different parts of the motorcycle. For example, you can't use a sponge that wipes the tire to wipe the seat, because the oil on the tire may be transferred to the seat with the sponge. There are many modern wiping tools available on the market today. For example, microfiber cloth, its cleaning is very effective and it can protect the surface. However, don't neglect using old toothbrushes, which can effectively clean small parts, such as motorcycle bolts.
When the cleaning is finished, it is recommended to spend some time to wipe the motorcycle again with a clean microfiber cloth, such as wire rods, engine casings, etc. It is worth mentioning that if you use a tire polish, make sure that the tires are not in contact with the ground because it will seriously affect the grip of the tire.
Try to use a soft motorcycle wax. You can try to find an small area that is not very attractive. After waxing, look at it in the sun to see if there is a swirling wear scar. High-quality motorcycle wax should be like a layer of sunscreen to protect the body paint from UV damage. Even if you have waxed the motorcycle, you should regularly maintain the wax so that it can continue to work.
WD40 has a good effect on removing excess water stains and removing grease. At the same time, it can also play a role in lubrication.
When all the above steps have been completed, you can slowly ride and remove the excess water as much as possible. If it is possible, you can go to the unmanned section for a quick sprint to blow away the water hidden in the depth parts. Of course, you can also use a large fan to complete this step.
