After BRPR Elkins, WV trip the bike was filthy. On the way down I rode through
rain that was heavy at times. At one point I ht a puddle and felt the water hit my
right leg wit some force. Later when I stopped my pant leg was covered with an
oily substance. I was ab;t to wipe it off. Later the bike developed a small oil leak
from the right side valve cover getting oil on my pant leg again.
After two thousand miles I thought the shit was probably baked on, never to come
off with any amount of washing.
Before I left I'd ordered a Muc-Off motorcycle pressure washer and bike cleaning
kit, yesterday I opened it up and put it to use. As directed, I put the bike in the
shade, wet it down and then foamed it. You can see it starting to work.
I let it set for a few minutes and the "agitated" it. In other words, I used a micro-
fiber towel and wiped it down.
After that I hit it with the Muc-Off pressure washer.
Then wiped it down with another towel.
Pretty much everything came clean but the wheels. I hit them with some Simple
Green (diluted) and a towel.
Even though I already have a gas pressure washer, I think overall this little unit
will come in handy around the place. I can attach different bottles to dispense
car wash soap too. Is it a sales gimmick? I don't know, there may be other
cheaper options out there. I still had to "agitate" it, but feel it did a good job
getting to the places I couldn't reach.
I read reviews where they felt it dulled the black finish... maybe used it in direct
sunlight?
It wasn't the magic wheel cleaner we all hope for.
