I dont clean my car often. It's a 2004 taurus with 225K on the odometer....not exactly a show piece
The bike(s) however are different. I'd like to keep them in good shape, but I have literally NEVER washed a motorcycle (enter laughs and smirks here).
I'm smart enough to know I probably shouldn't take it to the self service car wash and hit it with 120 PSI water and soap spray. I assume this would get water into places that not even a severe thunderstorm would.
So...I went to autozone and looked at products. Since I have chromed spoke wheels, I wanted a chrome cleaner (not a polish). All 3 products they had for cleaning chrome rims on cars specifically said "do NOT use on motorcycles". WTF? What could possibly be different between the chrome on a car wheel and the chrome on my wheel or exhaust pipe?
Anyway, I just want a general cleaner that will take the dirt off. No oil or grease leaks, so a de-greaser isnt needed. What do you guys use??
