The other day I was cleaning my bike. It is muddy season here. I had used a bunch of "wax as you dry" spray wax on my vintage cars this summer and thought I'd try it. I applied it to my bike, under the fenders and on the plastic. Seems to let the mud come off and makes cleanup much EZer. Just thought i would share. I like this one...
That's a product I need to try because the mud we ride in sometimes is real tough to get off the bike.
Worth a try, mud season here in UK too, my bike held that much weight in mud on a race last weekend I couldn't pick it up when I had a minor off, had to get a hand off a spectator. So much mud round the front sprocket it was slowing the bike down considerably due to the friction caused. Now removed chain and sprocket guards to see if that helps, I guess that the bike weighed an extra 20kgs in mud at least!!
What about Pledge? Specifically, lemon. Lots of street riders swear by it as a cheaper alternative to Plexus, which does make the plastics feel greasy. Might make it tougher for mud to stick. I use Plexus on my street bike, but I never worried too much about my dirtbike looking dirty.
I remember Scott Summers used hose (panty hose) material streched over his fenders for mud races. That was a trip!!
I use WD40 and once tried a cheaper Wd40 type product... and it stained my white plastics yellowish! damn. Back to WD40. Might try a waxy product... thanks for the tip. I've heard others using cheapo tyre shine in a can, however, I think it would be too harsh on the plastic.
