Best Way To Clean Your Motorcycle


What is the best way to effectively clean a motorcycle?

A motorcycle accumulates road salt and dirt in both it's exposed and its in-exposed areas. A common problem that is often asked is how to effectively clean your motorbike and prevent corrosion to it's metal surfaces and casings?

Road salt is very aggressive in nature and will quickly tarnish the brightwork and paintwork on any classic or modern motorcycle. Even high quality motorbikes such as BMW's, Ducati's, and top-end Japanese bikes can suffer from the effects of grit salt.

General dirt and grime too can soon tarnish any motorcycle, and especially the chrome work and paint finishes on Honda's, Triumph's, Suzuki's, and Yamaha's. 

The fast removal of salt and road dirt is the real key to preventing corrosion from happening in the first place.

After riding the best solution is to clean the motorcycle with a pressure washer. These high powered washers use a water jet which is forced out of the power washer at high pressure removing dirt and debris effectively and without damage.

The most popular type sold in the UK are Karcher pressure washers, this brand are available to purchase at reasonable prices and are proven to be reliable in use.
