Cleaning all that dust/dirt from under the seat/fairings etc.

[Midnight]

I have my bike in my shop now and am in the process of giving it a good cleaning. I'm wondering what everyone uses to clean all of the parts that are hidden under the fairings/seat and side covers. There is a lot of dust and dirt in there. I blew out what I could with compressed air. I am reluctant to spray any water in these areas as it is mostly electrical stuff. Maybe I should just leave it alone. Ideas? Thanks JR

1. A few dry rags

2. A wet rag

3. Elbow grease

I just spray Honda Polish on a rag and start wiping. Craig

I use Mequires Cleaner Wax on my 1st gen frame. It brings up the shine on the old paint. Heck, I use it on the painted plastic too.

I use soap and water, rinse, and use compressed air to dry real well afterward. Just be choosy as to where you direct your water stream.

 

To be safe, unhook battery first.

Same thing I use to clean the engine on my truck. I spray no touch tire cleaner on everything and just let it dry. The dirt rolls away and everything shines after wards.

Dollar Tree "Power House" spray wax. A buck a bottle, just spray and wipe. It is as good as the costly stuff.

Toilet bowl brushes work great for getting into those hard to reach areas too. Just make sure you get a NEW one.

Thanks for all the replies. Being careful and using elbow greese was what I was planning on doing but hoped someone had a magic solution. Jim
