I don't know about woshing, but when I wash my Raptor...I use good car wash with wax in it to bead water. I soap it up good and wash the entire bike, then use Mothers Aluminum/Chrome polish on the pipe and header.

After the bike dries I use STP Son of a Gun or Armor All Dashboard protectant and spray down the plastic and seat with it, and clean the fenders to a shine. Actually brings the plastic back to a brand new shine.

Then I use Armor All Wheel Whipes to clean the wheels, and shine the grab bar and bumper.

Finally I use Maguiers Tire Shine to put a lasting "wet effect" on the sidewalls of the tires.

Makes the bike look brand new again. [img]i/expressions/face-icon-small-smile.gif[/img]

Never hurt mine. I have put Armor All and Son of a Gun on it since I got it. Just shines the plastic, and hasn't caused fading or anything.

You are simply unreadable. You better be below 9 years old because you arent even close to the spelling competency of my 9 year old. I thought all you foreigners were smarter than Americans. Sorry for ragging, I have just read too many posts written like this.

I just use soap and water, then when it dries, I put a few coats of mop-n-glow on. Doesn't help bead water or anything, just makes it look good and shiny and can hide small light scratches too...

I use armor all tire foam on everything, spray it on, wipe it in, and spray it off. Looks like brand new afterwards.
