Default I wash my bikes using Bosch Aquatak 100

1.I wash them with water.
2.Then With A Mild Shampoo.
3.Then Clean the Tyres using A Detergent.
4.Then Wash It Again Using the High Pressure Bosch Aquatak 100 Cleaner..
5.Dry them for 15 minutes and then wipe the water.
6.15 minutes later I use A 3M Polish and Polish it.
Done
It Shines Like"a nai navelli Dhullan" Lol

i get my bike washed 2-3 times a month.. Never washed it my self.. take it to a near by service center.. those guys take around 50rs..in which they was my bike with that spray pressure, remove excess water, then lubricate all the imp. parts(chain etc) and polish it... so its as clean as new..

Washing a bike is a pleasure for me. It's a practise I started at an early age (read school kid) with my dad's Rajdoot. And now, it's my Bull I care about.

I usually wash it once in two weeks very thoroughlly.
It's a flowchart of activities that span my entire Sunday mornings, starting with diesel washing (better to say rubbing) the crank-case bottom & hard grimed parts followed by washing with mild shampoo (I usually use Dove/Garnier etc)-warm water after covering all possible points of water entry like CB Points, Carb, Ignition Key hole, Spark plug, Exhaust end etc. with plastic/tape as the case may be.

Then I would idle my steed for 5 mins & then rub/soak off all the water with a chamois leather.

In the end, I would lube the 2 open cables & the rear chain & conclude with a short but breezy ride around my locality intermittently braking to heat up the brake shoe & let water in it pass.
