Remember to use a detergent
that’s made for bikes, because dishwashing soap is too strong for it and
will only get rid of the wax that you actually would want to keep.
Twice
When your bike is
extremely
dirty, wash it twice. Once for getting out of the bulk of the dirt, and
the other one will finish up the job.
Lots of it
Use generous amounts of water
when rinsing. Scratch causing dirt particles will tend to float away if
enough water is used.
::Drying ::
They have to be soft
Use only clean, freshly washed
cotton cloths or towels to dry or to apply materials to the surface of
your bike.
Rinse it all
After washing, rinse the
entire bike just to be sure all the soap is cleared away. Don't forget
the nooks, crannies and crevices where soap can hide.
