How do I clean my bike with a pressure washer? The first thing that needs to be done before using any cleaning equipment on your motorcycle is removing dirt from the surface. Pre-washing is a must to help keep the infliction of swirl marks, scratches and abrasions to an absolute minimum. The key is to remove as much dirt as you can before actually touching the motorcycle.
Snow Foam or Pre-Wash products are applied and allowed to dwell for several minutes – how long you leave it to stay on the surface depends on the product, so be sure to check the instructions on the product you’re using. Pre-washing and snow foaming is a non-contact step. It softens dirt and surrounds the larger dirt particles; when the bubbles pop and slide, they draw the dirt particles away from the surface of the paintwork. This includes traffic film, grit, insects and bird droppings. The snow foam is then rinsed off.
