I have to echo Two Wheel & Buzzy here. I do the similar except the products are a little different.
By the way Buzzy I know a place in Pa. where you can spend 20 minutes. 40 if you want to stop & see Two Wheel too.
If you are anything like me, you wouldn't want anyone else to wash your bike. I don't even let the wife touch it, she gets to hose it off only!
I am a freak when it comes to people washing my stuff and I am very annal about what micro fiber rags I use.
I learned my lesson a long time ago. I stopped in this benefit car wash thing being held in a parking lot. I don't remember what it was for but I had just bought a brand spanking new Chevy Silverado. It was the top of the line and had every option. Took me a long time at that time in my life to finally afford one.
Well, there were a lot of kids helping wash the vehicles. And I mean little kids like 6 years old! When I got home I started noticing scratches all over the truck. Then I remembered watching the kids as they would lay the wash rags down on the cement parking lot or would constantly drop the rags.
I thought it was funny at the time and was kinda funny watching these kids try and help only to have adults come right back behind them to get all the spots that they missed.
Then it hit me like a ton of bricks! every time those kids laid a rag down, it would get rocks and dirt in it and then they scrub the vehicles with them!!!!
I have not had my vehicles washed by ANYONE since then.
