Cleaning a motorcycle with Tub O' Towels Heavy Duty Wipes

How to Clean a Motorcycle (The Hard Way)

Cleaning a motorcycle traditionally requires quite a few products, and you must be careful not to get a product designed for one component of the bike onto any of its other parts. Here are the steps:

  1. Remove all accessories that can’t get wet.
  2. Assemble a collection of different cleaning products including liquid detergent, WD-40, tire cleaner, engine cleaner, paint polish, metal polish, bug and tar remover, a toothbrush, steel wool, multiple sponges, and different rags of various abrasiveness.
  3. Use a pressure cleaner to remove caked-on grime, but keep the water stream far away from electronics, vinyl seats, brakes, and all instruments. If you pressure wash the chain, remember to re-lubricate it afterwards.
  4. Wash each part of the bike independently with its designated product. Be sure to use separate sponges and rags for each component to avoid cross-contamination. Rinse thoroughly, but use minimal water to avoid spotting or damage.
  5. Use a toothbrush to clean out all crevices.
  6. Clean out baked-on grease and grime from the exhaust pipes with steel wool.
  7. Carefully dry the entire bike with a microfiber cloth.
  8. Polish the paint and chrome to make it shine.
  9. Use a clean microfiber cloth to carefully go over every inch of the motorcycle, ensuring that you did not miss any spots.
  10. Wax the bike if desired.
  11. Re-lubricate all components as needed.
  12. Take a ride, slowly at first and then faster, to ensure that no water remains.

Cleaning a Motorcycle (The Easy Way)

Although the tried and true method above will eventually lead to a shiny, clean bike, it is extremely labor intensive. It also requires a huge investment in different cleaning products, many of which are caustic to the skin. Tub O’ Towels heavy duty wipes provide a simpler, more eco-friendly solution. They also include skin protectors such as Vitamin E, aloe, and lanolin.

  1. Grab a canister of heavy duty Tub O’ Towels wipes.
  2. Wipe down the motorcycle carefully, section by section, from the windshield to the chain.
  3. Use additional wipes as needed until the entire bike is clean and shiny.
  4. Polish and wax if desired.
