Okay so for the first time in a year (from new with acf50) as i dont ride in any crap or crud im going to properly wash my bike....

My bike is very clean anyway but as winter approaches i think ill clean her acf her and put her to sleep.

How do you do it.....ive watched loads on it on youtube so i have gone and got multiple microfibre towels meguires gold and a snow foam cannon for my karcher some brake cleaner and multiple cloths.

What is best for that greasy rear wheel.....?

Hi dude, been off grid for way too long. Life just keeps getting in the way.

I’ve treated mine with Hybrid X. They’ve made a new one now called Fusion. Nothing sticks to it and the muck just sprays off. They also do a cleaner called spotless. Wet the bike either apply with a sponge or spray on. Leave for a couple of minutes (don’t let it dry) and spray off. Job done. Any stubborn muck spray on again. Agitate a bit wait a couple mins again spray off and should be done. Should work a treat on your bike mate as it’s not particularly dirty.

I love the stuff. It’s not cheap but they do a whole range of cleaners and coatings. Seriously simple to use and at the mo I can’t fault it. Super lazy too so there’s more time for riding.

Enjoy it though, there’s nothing like the satisfaction of a gleaming bike after a couple hours work. Cheers dude.

Meguirs ultimate black for the plastic parts!!! Its amazing. Use a detail brush to apply and wipe off with a micro fibre towel.

I watched chrisfix super clean car and super clean engine bay on youtube. Simple, easy and worth a watch. I now detail the car and bike using similar techniques.

I spray acf 50 on the lower front and underside. Also under the rubber guards on swingarm.

I also advocate muc off 'bike spray' and motorcycle protectant. If nothing else get the bike spray and ultimate black.

Never actually tried a foam gun before, mostly just stuck to traditional two bucket method and gave the chain a through cleaning before oiling and storing.
