Default Keepin her clean

Alright guys I know this is a stupid question but how do you guys manage to keep your scrams looking so good? This is by far the hardest bike I have ever had to clean, there are just so many nooks and crannies, even when I spend hours washing it it still looks like crap, I've even found spots where its beginning to develope a little surface rust! Can't let this happen, so as far as techniques, cleaning supplies, or anything to get her cleaner please let me in on your guy's secrets. Thanks again.

I have found that when I find a spot on my Scrambler that still shines, its time to go back to the mud hole and try again...LMAO[img]i/expressions/face-icon-small-smile.gif[/img]

Spary on some Simple Green and let it do its job. They rinse off witha graden hose and give it a good washing. I spray the bare metal parts with TriFlow after every wash and touch up any paint chips that I see. Then finish it off with some STP Son-Of-A-Gun on the plastic

Simple Green has been the best so far. And of course the main thing is clean it after every ride unless you just get a little dust on it

O yes, that would be great... i suggest a large pink Rose in the middle with lots of panseys as a border...
that would be wonderful!
