Only detail I would say, after you have applied your foam, let it sit for a few minutes just to soften the dirt then clean off with your jet wash. Then apply a second and go at it with your detail brush. Saves rubbing all the grime into your paint and causing more scratches.

My thoughts exactly mate, it was quite surprising how it seems to spring out of all the little corners!... pretty obvious why they rust when you don't dry them properly then!!!

@johnk7814 8 ай бұрын

Nice I do have one of those dryer's and I have to say it's the best thing I bought to when cleaning the bike it get everything bit of water off and especially deep down where you would never get a rag to dry it. My hose is a bit longer though only thing I have a probem with the flexable part of hose comes off the hard plastic piece that attaches to the dryer at least once when I use it. Don't have a foamer maybe I should get one of those 😁 Cheers

My Blaster came with s/steel Jubilee clamps that hold the corrugated hose to the warm air output spigot. However, mine is a metal cylinder type and the warm air spigot is also metal. No probs. with that. And my hose is about 2 metres.

Good morning, if you use the "open hose" (remove the nozzle to get a solid stream) method for rinsing, you don't get all the droplets. If you have a good coat of wax or coating on the bike or car, most of the water will run off. Try it, you'll like it 😊

@Moonfleet41 8 ай бұрын

Thanks for the info, good point well mad, a slow running hose kinda pours the water on, I'll give it a try...

Best bike cleaner? - Dense vegetation. Glancing along 50yds of lush privet hedge (before losing the front end & lunching it) quickly rids fairings, screens & mirror-backs of all last year's squashed bugs & race stickers - saves pounds & takes but a few terrifying moments. Green stemmed ferns are best to crash into, having both admirably survivable deceleration properties for most humans, & a low moisture content to prevent excess splatter for later on. Brown stem varieties are generally best avoided though, as are any gorse, thorn or citrus trees, English trees can be dodgy as well, they tend to invoke their Newtonian immobility laws & leave a pretty rogue finish on most things, especially soft furnishings, - like us! Have a great w/e : )xx

@chrisryan3445 8 ай бұрын

A good tip with the air drier - have a microfibre cloth in your other hand so you don't have to chase the water around as much. Can use it to sort of catch the water by blowing towards it. Saves another bit of time and especially useful round the cylinder heads as it always seems to pool there and blow back all over you when you hit it with air :D

@sthildas4857 8 ай бұрын

Snowfoam has less lubricity than ph shampoo, so I would always wash it. Your Master Blaster are good,in hard water areas we use deionised water. For those with paint, always wax it , Peek or Mothers on the chrome. You can buy a 2800w pet dryer for about £40. I detail bikes and cars, plus machine polish paint have fun everyone.

Hey, you forgot to clean my bikes!! Gotta get me one of those blowers. That's pretty kwel way to wash the bike down! Anyways, I use a large green brush, which does the job on mine. I been using air compressor with a turbo tube. Or sometimes a reversed vacuum cleaner. (put hose other end)

@Moonfleet41 8 ай бұрын

This dryer would be a game changed for you, I've used my air compressor and other items, but nothing blows as hard as these, and being warm air too you could dry an entire Goldwing in less than 2mins flat! Have a great weekend and take care.

The problem is that red dust and dirt gets into everything, it's a bugger to get off when it's wet and you end up with like red clay everywhere. On a 40C + day with the dust dry heat and the bloody fly's it can be a pain, but always great fun LOL. I think we must be mad, you riding in the rain and slurry and us in the dirt and dust. Have a good one, Cheers PS sun out and 31C today.😀

Ahh i dunno, i'd swap the salt for res clay dust any day.. at least it doesn't dissolve parts and eat your bike away..lol! warming up a little here, hopefully they're done with the salt and the remaining rain will wash it away. have fun and say cool mate. D&Px

Twenty minutes...."you don't have no stinkin chrome" Del always enjoy your videos but I have to agree with one of the comments to let the foam stand a tad longer and then rinse off (no brushing) Over here across the pond and WAY WEST we have a good company called Chemical Guys who have similar products. Always great when we learn new things from bros. Cheers mate!

Those Metrovacs seem really great but over here in the States they are way pricey.

Sure thing Rick, a few people mentioned pet driers and leaf blowers as I've used before, but the Metrovac blows like a tornado!... and the fact it's warm, dries the bike in seconds!
