Harley Davidson Motorcycle Maintenance : How to Polish Harley Davidson Chrome

[lilrara11804]

awesome... can you tell me how to wash my ass now? If you're an adult with a motorcycle and you don't know the BASICS of washing a vehicle, it's probably not a good idea to ride something with 2 wheels because of that retardation problem you've got goin on.

This is not the correct way to clean a real motorcycle. The correct way is to ride it in the rain. If it hasn't rain in at least 2 months, you are allowed to hit it up with the hose. If it is a show bike, sure. But a street ridden bike shouldn't need it.

My bike only gets anything more than that when I am servicing it. Engine, brake reservoirs, chain, steering head and rear suspension links. That is only so they can be inspected and regreased where needed.

in order to reach hidden areas one can use compressed air - but a leaf blower should only be used to clean the parking lot for Your bike - before You park it, of course ...

Using a leaf blower is not a good idea. You're taking a chance of kicking up all the dirt in the area to spread all over the bike. Also I own a leaf blower that also doubles as a leaf vac and mulch, so all I would be doing is discharging the built up junk in it all over the bike. Don't be lazy and use a microfiber towel. Harley makes a compact heated air dryer if you must use something. It would give you better aiming control because of its size.

@hdsport06 I use an air hose to get the must of the water off then a towel

1. Use 'Gunk' (not the foam) on grease and rinse

2. Use Oven Cleaner on the pipes

3. Use Soap and Water on the whole bike

4. Use Windex on the Chrome if needed

5. Use Saddle Soap on the leather

6. Stay away from girls because if you really needed to be told this you're gay
