• There were many reasons for the change of the site software, the biggest was security. The age of the old software also meant no server updates for certain programs. There are many benefits to the new software, one of the biggest is the mobile functionality. Ill fix up some stuff in the coming days, we'll also try to get some of the old addons back or the data imported back into the site like the garage. To create a thread or to reply with a post is basically the same as it was in the prior software. The default style of the site is light colored, but i temporarily added a darker colored style, to change you can find a link at the bottom of the site.

How do you clean your spyder?

When I had my motorcycles, I normally used a good spray on detailer unless the bike was really dirty like if I was caught in the rain. Then I would use a mild soap and water. For my cars I always use soap and water and only use detailer for a final cleaning. What do most of you do?
 
I use RainX car wash to gently clean my :ani29:, then follow up with Lucas Slick Mist Speed Wax spray. I use it on the windshield as well. It helps to sheet water off like RainX, but doesn't damage anything. I use microfiber cloths to dry everything and then apply the Lucas spray and wipe it down again. Makes the next wash easier as well . As a bonus, it smells good too. A very good product.
 
Let's see..!!

plexus, protectall and one other more reasonable priced but same family...when on the road I just borrow pledge from housekeeping...:thumbup:
 
Clean and detail my Spyder the same way as my car, except I take care with water around the cluster and electronics, as well as any switches etc.:doorag:
 
Pretty straight forward, Mothers Car Wash with wax in it. In between I use Mothers detailer. I will use No Touch or similar for the tires. For all wash and wiping I use Costco or similar Microfibre towels, but will dry it after washing with a Microfibre dry towel.

I did recently use Mothers Carnuba paste wax, instead of the Synwax. Both worked well.

Sounds special but really is what the cars have been getting for a long time.

I use a good quality car wash soap & water... then I use a electric leaf blower to rid my spyder of water... & use Mothers detail with a micro cloth..
 
I use Meguiar's Quick Detailer, for the light jobs... :2thumbs:
And a decent car wash, when things are really ugly... :shocked:
So I end up doing; what you're doing! :clap:

My method as well. Meguirers quick detailer is some nice stuff. I also recently picked up one of those small red California car dusters. Works really good just to wipe off the garage dust before a ride.
 
Gliptone car wash, superbike spray wax, super bike leather cleaner, rain x glass cleaner & 1600 psi electric power washer. i do
so every sat. during riding season.
 
I use a product called Bullet Polish. It comes concentrated and mixes with 1 gallon of distilled water for $14.00. Contains carnauba wax. Can be used as a waterless wash or a top coat on your fav wax. Excellent for quick touch ups and good on windshields. Been using it for years on every vehicle I own.

This is what I was thinking as well. I do have one of those dusters to help take off any dust just before a ride. The mequiars also helps to keep the dust and bugs from sticking to the painted surface.
