Motorcycle Detailing

Motorcycle Detailing: What Is It?

Motorcycle detailing is the act of preserving, protecting, and repairing all of a motorcycle’s components to keep it shiny, clean, and functioning to its optimal potential. Motorcycles make our daily commute exciting, pleasurable, and faster. So we need to take proper care of our motorcycles to get the most out of them.

Is Motorcycle Detailing Worth It For Your Bike?

Detailing a motorbike involves keeping it clean and in showroom-like condition. Here are three of the main benefits of keeping your motorbike clean.

Maintain your motorcycle’s visual appeal

Road and weather conditions may wreak havoc on any motorcycle’s paint and chrome finish. Our highly skilled professionals can restore your motorcycle’s look to the same as the day you first bought it!

Maintain your motorcycle’s worth

Maintaining your motorcycle’s pristine state may be as easy as detailing it frequently. It will make preserving the high resale value much simpler. Most dealers advocate detailing a motorbike before selling it, but if you maintain it during your ownership, it will remain in outstanding condition.

Identify Problems Early

Regular detailing services conducted by skilled specialists ensure that your motorbike is periodically inspected. Detailing a motorcycle reduces repair costs and prevents irreparable damage. Keeping your motorbike in top condition makes it easier for professionals to detect any issues.

What Does Motorcycle Consist Of?

Motorcycle detailing comprises many procedures to get the most polished appearance which is done by professional detailers!

Pre-wash

Use a hose to clean the lowest areas of the bicycle. It will eliminate larger bits of dirt and avoid scratching. Rinse the bike’s hard surfaces using a high quality wash mitt and automotive or motorcycle wash detergent, followed by a gentle hose rinse. Unless your bicycle is oily, you should avoid using strong soaps such as dishwashing detergents.

Wheel Cleaner

Wash your tires and rims using a mild tire cleaner and wash soap to start. The washing process eliminates all oils from tire dressings and road film. After washing and drying the wheels and tires, the rims may be polished and protected. Chrome may be polished and waxed to preserve its brilliance.

Dash and controls

All surfaces and electrical components on the dash of a motorcycle should be kept dry whenever feasible. For general cleaning and the safety of your dashboard, you should choose a cleaning solution that offers UV protection for clear and colored plastics.

What Is The Cost Of Motorbike Detailing?

Nearly all motorcycle detailing is performed manually. Motorcycle detailing typically takes between four and eight hours. Regardless of the motorcycle’s model or size, most firms offer a flat amount for motorcycle detailing. The cost of motorbike detailing is influenced by the following factors:

Type of motorcycle

Evaluating the kind of motorbike you own and how it may impact the time required to detail it is essential.

The level of cleanliness

A motorbike that has been consistently maintained will take less time and effort than one that has not been washed in months or even years. The amount of maintenance needed is dependent on how the bicycle is used.

Level of Oxidation

If the motorcycle is severely oxidized and sun-faded, a specific chemical will be required to polish it.
