First, the bike needed to be washed. With the bike wet, we pulled out the Absorber from Emgee/Clean Tools. This is a soft-touch drying skin that dries any paint finish without scratching and leaves a lint-free surface. The Absorber can be used as a towel, chamois, or even a sponge.
We came across a few things to help prolong ride time by reducing scrub time. What a concept. Hit the road instead of crawling around the dusty pavement with a roll of paper towels and a can of Pledge. Chase women instead of cleaning out fingernail grit with a dull knife. "Shut up and get started Ernie."
"Okay Boss," Ernie said grabbing a handful of new cleaning products from Emgee/Clean tools and Pimp Stixxx cleaning products.
The next thing we used after the bike was dried was the Glosser also made by Emgee/Clean Tools. | 
The Glosser is a micro-fiber wipe that contains both a cleaner and a wax. It is a three-layer wipe with two outer layers that remove and suspend dirt. In the middle, a ceraphilic layer dispenses cleaner and waxes as you wipe. One wipe is enough to wipe down a car, so using it on a bike isn't a problem. | 
With every reachable surface clean, there are still the hard-to-get-to spots on every bike that are often overlooked. The Pimp Stixxx cleaning kit can solve that problem. The kit includes four different-size component handles, seven different component heads, two component ferrules, two end caps, and a starter cleaning rag. |
Each Pimp Stixxx is made of billet aluminum, powdercoated, and rubber covered. | 
The heads are made of a high-density plastic and are resistant to gas, oil, and chemicals. | 
We started with the 12-inch straight Stixxx, and the 1-inch head cleaner. |
The instructions say to use the cleaning rag by wrapping a corner around the head, then applying a small bit of wax or cleaning solution. | 
We used one hand to hold the Stixxx and the other to hold the rag. After cleaning the area with one part of the rag, we rewrapped the head with a clean part to wipe away the wax and cleaner. | 
And just so you don't lose anything, Pimp Stixxx comes with a cool little storage bag. This is a must-have for any do-it-yourselfer who enjoys spending time with his bike. |
