My local Harley dealer offers a bike wash and dry for $10 (plus tip of course) and will wash both the HD and the GZ. A full blown detail & wax is $65.
Cool, huh? :2tup:

to the people that don't wash your bike often, remember this. the cleaner it is when you wash it the eaiser it is to get the dirt off. if i do the bike once a week it takes me about 2 min to wash and rince the bike when the dirt cakes on its hard to get off. Login or Register to Remove Ads |

Re: cleaning chrome items such as exhaust that get hot??
Last Friday afternoon I rode by "Hog Wild Cycles" and they had this tall, curvy girl in high heels and skimpy black leather outside washing bikes, and the parking lot was full! I don't know what she was charging or how good a job she was doing, but there are obviously a lot of bikers that prefer to have someone else wash their bike as long as they get to watch! :biggrin:
Oh, yeah almost forgot. I prefer chrome polish for cleaning up the grime off my chrome, but then I do put a coat of something like McGuire's Deep Luster over the chrome when I'm done cleaning it. |

I'm not sure if that was technically a bikini, but it didn't have a lot of material to it!

Re: cleaning chrome items such as exhaust that get hot??
Judging from the crowd in their parking lot, I think you (and I) would be in the minority. I'll have to admit I nearly drove off the road when I went by. But I had places to go and people to see, so I washed my bike by myself the next day.
