Bike Brite Spray Wash

Hi,

Probably every one knows about this but me: Bike Brite Motorcycle Spray Wash.

My riding buddy was giving me a hard time--he said my bike was so dirty he couldn't tell what color it was. I maintain that the dirt protects the paint, but he was so annoying that I told him I'd clean it when he got his MC license, which for years he's been riding around without. So he got his license, and not being a welcher I was stuck. But even though I'm not a welcher, I'm lazy, so I googled around for the easiest way to clean a nearly Jurassic level of splooge and saw some recommedations for Bike Brite Motorcycle Spray Wash. So I got some, and, short of someone inventing self-removing dirt, it couldn't have been easier. You spray this stuff on (it comes out as a foam, so spray it on in the shade, so it doesn't dry on the bike), then rinse it off with a hose. The dirt just flows away. Then dry the bike off with a micro-fiber towel and ride off. Took me 1/2 an hour total. Now this doesn't leave the bike super shiny--if that's your thing then you'll need to polish it, but I don't care about gleaming down the road, so for me this stuff's a miracle. One more caveat--if you buy the quart spray bottle, it's not enough for a big, clad bike like the FJR, but if you buy the gallon, it doesn't come with a spray nozzle, so you'll need an empty spray bottle.

I took my first post-wash ride yesterday. Bike was much faster, and gas mileage increased 30%.

We have an emergency drought situation so no outside water hose use allowed. I'm going to have to leave the mud and just go with a slow dirty bike.
