There’s nothing worse than a dirty bike. Sure, it takes time to wash it and dry it, then wax and polish it, but there’s something very spiritual about the whole process (at least there can be). Dropping it off somewhere or hiring a mobile detailing service is also an option for some folks, but we’re all about taking pride in your ride—so roll up your sleeves and get to work!

Luckily, you won’t be doing it all alone, as we have spoken to a few leading professionals in the game of motorcycle cleanliness, and they’ve recommended some products that will help make washing your bike less of a pain. Feeling motivated yet?

The first step to getting your bike ready for summer cruising is washing it.
