Washing Bike today!

[Cougar]

Well, I decided to wash the bike up today

and get her ready for winter storage.

 

This last summer I purchased a (gas) power washer

(Ridged 3300)

not just for the bike... been using it for lots of projects!

 

Anyways , I decided to try something different today,

 

I hooked the hose to a soft-water outlet, then washed

the bike with a medium power spray nozzle. then what was the

best is that I used a Electric Toro Leaf Blower (850} to blow

the bike dry.. (worked perfect) no spotting on the chrome

what so ever. dry time was about 10 Min's. The blower was able

to get into those hard to get chrome area spots. Just thought I would share my

fun washing expereance with you today!

I think I have that same pressure washer but I've never used it on the bike. I do use a leaf blower for drying though. I've been doing that for more than 10 years and it works GREAT.

I do landscaping been using my backpack blower every time to dry works great

I want a backpack blower when I grow up one day!

got the Toro at goodwill for $8.99 ! lots of power

but wish I had a gas powered one.. like before I had

an electric pressure washer now it is gas. only way

to go!

Wonder if the soft water helped? we have real hard water were we live.
