Pimp Stixxx It Where The Sun Don't Shine

By Taryn Funcheon, Photography by Taryn Funcheon

A dirty bike might be cool to show off that it's been ridden, but when it gets to the point you can dirt-write 'wash me' on the fender, you need to clean your ride. Washcloths and such only go so far, until you hit those hard-to-reach places where your hands and ordinary tools don't fit. You could avoid tearing up your knuckles or MacGyver-ing your screwdriver to clean your bike with the Pimp Stixxx (patent pending) detailing component system.

With Pimp Stixxx (MSRP $27.99), you're pimping your bike to a shine with a detailing kit composed of several straight and angled vinyl-coated component handles and various non-marking cleaning heads to help clean tight areas on a motorcycle, from the motor to in between spoke wheels. According to the company, "Pimp Stixxx are safe to use on chrome, billet aluminum, powdercoating, and painted surfaces, provided they are used as directed." Speaking of use, there are plenty of things you can do with the product to make it work for you on your specific model. Follow along as we show how Pimp Stixxx works and its benefits to you for a shiny, detailed ride.
