Re: Looking for suggestions for motorcycle detailing products

Baracuda: Thanks for the link. I think all of those would likely be cost prohibitive after factoring in shipping and duties.

After you are done with detailing the bike, block off the chain with used newspapers and use O-ring safe chain cleaner or kerosene to clean the chain and rear sprocket. I use a soft toothbrush to help me get it clean. Let the chain air dry for 15min and apply light coat of chain lube. I use Motul Chain Clean and Motul Factory Line Chain Lube, since I track my bike and it also has whitish/bright look to it, everyone comments and asks me if my chain is brand new. Let it dry for 30-60min and you are good to go.

I use IP, FP and Souveran on my red daytona 675.
Thanks for the walk-through!

Ill follow your steps as closely as I can.
