Dang! That advertisment will make anyone that knows anything about bikes run the other way!
Well I have made a promise to every bike I have ever owned to never let those girls in bikinis come near my rides. This guy has a technique far worse than those young girls do and he is far from pleasant in the looks category. But you have to admit the girls in their bikinis are far more entertaining when they wash other people's rides.

Yes absolutely must remove the bags to get a good job on it. I have to unbolt mine but can't get it clean everywhere unless I do.
Thats the guy that cleans bikes at your local harley shop.
Yep, I've seen him at doing the rentals during Bike Week. With his boss eyeing him with that 'time is money look'.
Ha, guess he never met glider. I've go to go get a can tomorrow, the bugs trashed my bike, my vest and my helmet today on a PGR ride. Love bugs if anyone lives in Florida this time of year will know what I mean.

Yes I always thought so, never could convince my wife though.
Honestly, the worst thing is he makes money washing a bike this way..."--at the expense of his customers' repair bills which he never sees or takes liability for!" If he did, he would have been out of business a long time ago. :bigsmiley21:

At least with the girls in bikini's your expectations on the final product are pretty low............

Only Girl I want anywhere near my ride is my wife and I know she aint washing it.
I hose it off spray it down with S100 bulk hose it off if it is real dirty I use s soft clean micro cloth with plenty of soap.
Dry it if there is time a light wipe down with Pledge and ride.
Couple time a year I polish and or wax it up good.
Some how I could never do the Bikini bike wash thing, Tough in the back of my mind was always how would my wife feel about that. Just me fine for others.
