Not to getting too far off subject, but one of my old Sportsters has been under cover for a couple years. The aluminum/mag ? spoke wheels are covered with white, spots of corrosion. I'm hoping the pressure washer will knock it off. Haven't tried yet.
0000 steel wool with the cleaner of your choice works super for cleaning wheels.
Grow that beard back, Amigo!
I always liked your barba! It was inspiration for growing mine out.
Until now i usually chamois the bike down and then scoot around the block to blow any hard to get at water then dry the water off again...might use the leaf blower now!!!plus, mum might think i'm out there doing garden stuff if she hears it going!!...choice!!
Snapper XD 82V MAX 550 CFM Cordless Leaf Blower Kit with 2.0 Battery & Rapid Charger, 1687879, SXDBL82K
($228 on Amazon - this site does weird things to an Amazon link or I would post, so just search for it)
I really love that thing - it has really good high power blast (actually more than my Echo gas-powered one) and the convenience of a cable-free, gas-free device is just fabulous.
The charge lasts a good 20 mins or so - if needs to be recharged to finish up the job, it actually recharges quite rapidly .
Just be careful when purchasing a battery powered one - they are not all created equally and there is HUGE variance in both the air-flow and battery-charge life, so research carefully. But I would definitely give this one a strong recommendation as a good balance of power and value.
I always use a clean absorbent towel.
Does a better job than any blower because it provides a second opportunity to clean and buff any missed or stubborn dirty spots missed by the initial wash.
A blower with not do that. JMHO
