Spray and Wash? 4 Bikes

I just bought a C50 Boulevard and man is it a nice ride, just wondering what type of product you guys use/suggest that is quick, something you can spray on and rinse off to remove the dirt on bikes, I don't mind polishing and waxing after, just wanted to find out what is a quick wash/rinse product. I really don;t want to be washing those spokes by hand either. LOL...Thanks....

s100 -Is amazing.

You won't believe how dirty your bike is until you use this stuff-

You need a good hose though or preferable a pressure washer-

Re: Spray and Wash? 4 Bikes

I definitely agree S100 is awesome stuff if you have a Harley dealer nearby

If not, really any good quality car soap is gonna work fine. I like Meguiars Gold Class.

Not sure I would recommend a pressure washer on a bike, especially a cruiser with no body work covering things, too many electrical connections to worry about.

I would get an EZ Brush, GREAT for getting into those spokes....

EZ Detail Motorcycle Brush a safe, no scratch wash tool for your bike or vehicle.

Re: Spray and Wash? 4 Bikes

Correct me if I'm wrong, I believe S100 is a wax..I have plenty of wax/sealents..what I was looking for was something just to wash the bike, I'm ok as far as protecting it after......G

Sorry, I should have been more specific. As smprince1 said, S100 offers a complete line of detailing products.

If you have a Harley dealer nearby stop in and check them out

Re: Spray and Wash? 4 Bikes

I concur with the S100 spray wash. BOM also makes a good one (picked some up from Daytona Bike Week). However, I only use that when I'm in a crunch. You really can wash better with some sort of aggitation (i.e. bucket wash).

Also, both of the products above will typically strip any wax you have on there, so keep that in mind.
