Tip number one: Try not to clean a bike in the blazing sun for obvious reasons. If however you happen to be an incredibly important YouTuber with a Thomas the Tank Engine voice who’s been been experiencing a heatwave for over a month and simply can’t afford to put your videos on hold for any longer, then get out there and get on with it!

I’ve watched probably 1000’s of youtube detailing videos. You sir, have the best video editing of them all. And you are a top level pro detailer to boot.

The craziest part is you are actually working will filming which makes the video that much better. Very satisfying to watch. Thank you

Can you read us a book? That voice is amazing

My favourite part of bike cleaning is once it looks perfect taking it for a blast.. Where more often than not, within about 30 seconds, a swarm of about 1, 000 or so flies decide that they'd prefer to be squished all over my pride and joy rather than doing fly stuff. Usually within about 10 minutes the seagull heard in this video at 4:35 has tracked me down and launched a couple of his bike-seeking missiles all over it!! I've found that paraffin works just as well as the commercial chain cleaners (if not better) and is cheap as chips by comparison. Follow that with a thin coat of chain wax and Bob's your uncle.

I've never seen this channel before, it takes slow commentary to a new level.

Just discovered this video, even though it's 3 years As a motorcycle mechanic and amateur detail enthusiast, I feel this video should be provided to everyone when they get a motorcycle licence, and everyone who starts working in the motorcycle industry!
So many simple tips that take years to learn when you have to trial and error by yourself :)
Cheers!

Son of the year award goes to Car Cleaning Guru!

Glad you've done this. There are some appalling videos out there on bike cleaning. For example, using a brush on the engine and wheels then moving on to the bike's paint work with the same brush!

I watch tons of car detailing vids on YouTube; this was super refreshing to watch. I just finishing convincing myself, yet again, that it's not worth it for me to buy a bike...then GURU drops this on me. Thanks GURU, thanks.

[Zgurkogel]

Yaaaayyy! Having been riding bikes for about 30 years there still is more to learn about cleaning them. Thanks for posting this little gem mr.Guru, much appreciated! :-D
Also a shout out to the owner of this gorgeous machine. Love it.

Nicely done, it's worth rubbing a bit of ACF-50 over any parts that could rust for extra protection, great stuff. Obviously stainless steel and plastics won't need any, you can mask the disks and calipers and tyres to do nuts bolts and forks. It's good on electrical connections including battery terminals too.

I cleaned my bike yesterday. The wife polished my helmet.

[ellisd]

You forgot the most important step...The post wash bike spray. AFC50 or MucOff BikeSpray are decent. Drives out moisture, lubricates and protects. Spray on electrical components and suspension to prolong life of rubbers seals etc.
Decent video and love the detail.

More of these motocycles cleaning videos please!

Can't unsee how close to the house you parked your car :P

[Audittr]

I first switched to two buckets and learnt to machine polish around 2006. I used to have bikes but knocked that on the head around 2003. Wish I had my detailing arsenal and knowledge in my biking days, could have brought them up to such a higher level.

finally a great how to video on cleaning motorbikes. I notice that you use a wax on the bodywork near the seat. It's worth mentioning that wax is obviously slippy so it's important not to get any on there. seats on motorbikes are usually simple to remove and involve the key and a single latch which keeps it in place with a few tabs to line it up correctly

Subscribed long ago 👍🏻 never detailed a bike so looked at several vids on here and lord have mercy 🙄🤯 wouldn't even think to do a bike the way they showed since a few mates have asked me to do theirs recently. I knew my YouTube mucker Car Cleaning Guru must have one ... cheers! That's more like it 🏆

[woncho]

I’m a car guy but is very nice to see a bike getting detailed. 🚙🏍🚗🛵

[Playingbyear]

Great advice! I especially agree with the part about hot air corrosion is what kills most bikes’ electrics, especially Italian ones like your dad’s.
