How to wash your bike to keep your used bike parts new?
When washing your bike parts I would like to tell you that firstly wash all the bike parts such as engine, tank, tires and all the surfaces that contain dirt. Better to clean it with water first using a gentle water pressure.
Don’t use the ordinary detergents for washing bike parts, they can damage the smooth surface, paint and can badly effect on the shine of bike. Use specified detergents that are especially manufactured for washing bikes. Mix the washing detergent according to the instructions. Then wash all the parts.
First wash the smoother areas with a soft cloth. Then wash the rough areas with the other cloth. Never wash your bike in direct sun light as soap will get dry off while you are applying it on other parts. Also wet parts when exposed to direct sunlight can get fainted. The color of the motorcycle parts can change in direct sunlight exposure and they will not look as new as they are when bought. Wash the motorbike in early morning or in afternoon. At this time of day sunlight is not very strong.
Remove the detergents by using water thoroughly. Then rinse all the bike parts completely. You can apply a shiner after washing it.
