We got a set of the four core products: Grime Out cleaner and degreaser, Spray & Shine detail spray, Easy Cut metal cleaner, and Final Shine Metal Polish & Sealer. We also got a test sample of Leather Max, a leather and vinyl cleaner.
Performance. We like to call HOT BIKE the performance magazine, so we're always looking to find good performance products and parts. When we were told about some cutting-edge cleaning products, we knew we had to put them to the test. Since we couldn't run them on the dyno, we had to pull out the old "elbow dyno" and wash the bike. We had just gotten back from a trip to Las Vegas, where on the way home we'd gotten rained on, so we had a dirty Road King in need of a little cleaning. OK, a lot of cleaning.
We were told that BriteMax Performance cleaners and polishes are designed to work fast with great results and little effort. This sounded like a good thing, since we don't like wasting a lot of time washing and waxing our bikes. We decided this was a perfect time to check them out-we had to clean the bike, anyway.

We got started by spraying the bike down with water, then sprayed Grime Out over everything-even the painted parts. Grime Out contains no acids or solvents, so it's safe to use on the whole bike. The directions say to spray everything, even the tires, let it sit for about five minutes, then rinse thoroughly. It dissolved all the brake dust and road tar, along with all the hard-water spots from the rain. Then we sprayed a little more on the tires. After we rinsed them off, they started to dry and looked like new.
