Mistakes to avoid when washing motorbikes at home

Washing your motorbike at home saves money but is prone to mistakes that can damage many parts.

Using the wrong nozzle

The pressure washer has a strong spray pressure, so holding the nozzle too close will cause the paint on the motorbike to peel off. For parts that need to be protected such as tie rods, ball bearings... avoid spraying directly to limit water from getting inside.

In addition, users can flexibly use the spray nozzle to clean the car surface. The nozzle is converging to "remove" "stubborn" stains under the chassis, wheels...

Use poor quality towels

Choosing a car cleaning cloth is important. If the dry cloth is hard and the cleaning method is not correct, it can easily scratch the paint surface. Therefore, you should use a soft cloth and use at least 3 towels for basic areas such as the car's paint surface, clocks and rims.

Use dishwashing liquid, soap

Many people have the habit of using dishwashing liquid or soap mixed with water to wash their cars at home, but this is a serious mistake. These detergents have high cleaning ability but are easily corrosive, causing peeling of the paint layer on the car. Instead, users should choose a specialized solution for motorbikes. These solutions have dirt-cleaning ingredients, helping to remove stubborn stains without damaging the paint surface.

Wash while engine is hot

Many people have the habit of washing their cars under the hot sun to take advantage of the heat to dry the car quickly. But in reality, the absorption of sunlight and temperature changes can easily damage the car's paint.

Furthermore, when the engine is hot, if the pressure is high, it will cause uneven expansion and contraction, causing the machine parts to deform or crack.

Car trunk wash

Washing the trunk takes a long time to dry. In addition, if the water is not wiped off during the washing process, the frame and fuel tank are prone to rust. In addition, for most manual and automatic motorbikes, the trunk is where the battery and fuel pump system are located. If the trunk is not washed carefully, these two parts will be affected, causing expensive repairs.
