I just use Maguires Quick Detail Spray... I've washed my bike with water exactly twice... when i first got it... and right before I put it up this last October (as it's gonna sit for almost a year) after a ride though it gets a nice spray down of Maguire's Quick Detail wax and a rub down... it'll even take off the bugs!

just keep it off your mirrors... or you'll need to clean those with a good glass cleaner(not windex) to get them clean again.


I have a bottle of that stuff. I just got it. Works great.

as long as your not trying to clean up 4 rides worth of dried on bug guts your good... I've yet to see anything NOT come off with this stuff when applied after a ride... even the next morning... but once you get outside that window it doesn't work nearly as well on the bugs and stuff... then again not much does short of degreaser:lol:

I put on the paint sealant when i first got the bike... (yes the stuff that auto dealers try to sell you when you buy a new car... that's what i do)
the stuff WORKS, makes it WAY easier to clean the bike later.

I've put water to my bike a few times... but then again, I ride in the rain, or anything else, so it takes a bit to clean it.

I thought claybars wouldn't do shit cept on the tank... cause there's no clear coat on the fairings..

depends on what it is that you are trying to do..

if there is a paint scuff or something on the fairings, claybar should take it off... at least the color portion of it.
