  • Ways of Cleaning a motorcycle

    Dear Forum Members

    Hello,

    Come rainy season the roads in Hyderabad get muddy. Its gets very difficult to maintain a motorcycle clean. The local motorcycle wash here in Hyderabad charges around Rs 80 to 120 for a motorcycle wash. Paying this amount every week is definitely burdensome and the bike gets muddy very quickly. The other option is to wash the bike ourselves which is incidentally the best way to care for a motorcycle ourselves.

    But everyone is not blessed with the opportunity to wash ones bike themselves as we live in apartments or rented portions where the apartment association/hose land lords do not allow you to wash the motorcycle. They mention different reasons like water wastage or the apartment parking lot getting dirty etc.

    The only option left with me is to clean the motorcycle with a cloth soaked in water and then again clean it with a clean damp cloth.

    Request you forum members to through some light as to how you wash and keep your prized possession clean and sparkling. Also please let me know if there are any other cleaning agents that can be sprayed and wiped off like colin etc.

    Thanks and Regards
    Srinivas

    There are various products available that can help you, both electric and manual! Check this out 8 liter Manual Washer (CS-8L-2)

    You can find the same product albeit with a different label on amazon and Chinese websites like Aliexpress.

      Thanks for the quick approval. Is the washer electric powered?
      Would like xbhpians to provide their views on different techniques to keep the bike clean

        You can try Proklear Waterless wash. It is available in a concentrated solution, add 5ml solution to a 500ml spray bottle with water. Spray all over the bike leave it for a min and with damp microfiber cloth clean it. It is effortless and gives a brilliant shine. It is one of the best ways to save water.

        Cheers

            You can use ONR as both rinseless & waterless (as QD) by making proper dilutions. Cheers !

                You can buy it in Indian detailing websites. One such site is Greenz Car Care. Just type it in Google. Cheers !

                There are many rinse-less / water-less cleaning products for vehicles. Just type it in Google you can get very good products.

                    Mix petrol with warm water and then apply it to the alloys/spokes
                    then see how much it shines
