Transcripts
it's been a while since i washed a
crotch rocket on camera but my dad
recently swapped his temperamental
italian stallion for this reliable
japanese triple so thought now is as
good a time as any
[Music]
now while the 10 000 mile mt-09 wasn't
hanging with deeply ingrained grime or
anything it had recently been out in the
rain and on a few dry country runs
before that so it was definitely dirty
enough for a back garden guru clean and
i wanted to keep it relatively cheap and
cheerful here so as well as teaming up
with pouch to potentially save some
money which i'll get to in a moment i
grabbed an affordable demon valve pack
from carplan to do the bulk of the work
the contents of which i'm pretty sure
i've not used myself or featured on
video before
now speaking of affordability big thanks
to pouch the completely free desktop
browser extension that automatically
goes out of its way to find and apply
the best discount codes when you're
shopping online for sponsoring the video
so to see what it could initially do for
me i went shopping in the shed for an
entry-level domestic pressure washer for
my dad to use to keep his bike clean
once i'd finished with it and found a
karcher k2 on euro car parts for 79.99
and sure enough once i got to the
checkout pouch automatically popped up
after finding a few relevant discount
codes which ultimately saved me over 24
pounds on the contents of my basket once
they've been applied
so pouch works on over 3 000 uk websites
including the likes of halfords ebay and
quick fit which is more than any other
similar browser extension in the uk it's
dead easy to install taking just a few
simple clicks and once you've made sure
you've pinned it to your browser that's
it you're good to go so click the link
at the top of this video's description
to get pouch for free right now and see
what kind of automatic savings you can
make
so with my karcher k2 days well and
truly behind me fired up the heavy duty
kranzel instead in preparation for a
bucket fill and pre-clean
now much like when cleaning a car it
makes sense to tend to the wheels of a
bike first too so taking advantage of
the fact it was now secured on paddock
stance treated the pair of them to a
good rotational spray over with the
demon machine cleaner product which
doesn't come with the kit so had bought
it separately then after being left to
soak for a moment to break down the
heavier surface dirt and brown break
dust thoroughly rinse the wheels off at
reduced pressure as unless absolutely
caked in heavy mud or something there's
no need to hit the exposed components of
a bike of full
whack once they've been given a good
pre-rinse the wet wheels were then
liberally doused with the demon wheels
product which smells a little weak for
my liking but the electric blue wheels
weren't that dirty following the
pre-clean so was confident a quick soak
with this then throw a brush over should
do the job
now agitating the wheels of a bike with
detailing brushes like this can be a bit
of a faff as things like disc brakes and
sprockets tend to want to get in the way
but on the flip side there's no tight
deeply recessed barrels to tend to like
on the wheels of a sporty car so reckon
it all lightly pans out to roughly the
same amount of work
the wheels were then washed over with a
shampoo primed soft wool wheel mitt and
while this isn't necessary i like to do
it after applying a wheel cleaner i
haven't used before plus it's always
nice to wash things over by hand but as
i say it isn't strictly necessary so
it's entirely up to you
to finish up the wheel clean the narrow
tyre walls were then given a bit of a
scrub with a stiff brush to release any
ingrained grind being careful not to
scuff the rim which was easier said than
done and once i felt they were as good
as they could realistically get with
these products rinsed both wheels off
once more to remove the majority of the
suds and any lingering demon wheels
product before moving on to the body of
the bike
as with the wheels the body was rinsed
down before any physical contact was
made to both remove the loose grit that
was sitting on the surface and to help
carry any cleaning products subsequently
applied to the various nooks and
crannies it might not otherwise get to
if applied dry
once wet and free from loose abrasive
dirt particles the more mechanical parts
of the bike that you wouldn't expect a
shampoo alone to sufficiently clean were
treated with the same machine cleaner
used on the wheels and while i know some
grease monkeys consider this kind of
in-depth strip clean to be unnecessary i
prefer the sporty machinery i'm working
on to be free from visible oil and
grease but you can and arguably should
re-lubricate any essential components
following a thorough clean like this
anyway so try not to get your bandanas
in too much of a twist
once the exposed mechanical parts have
been degreased with the machine cleaner
the synthetic trim seat was given a
dedicated cleanse with the lighter demon
clean apc to lift out any unseen
and previous owners leather clad farts
which of course is a critical part of
the used bike detailing process so
sprayed liberally agitated with a soft
detailing brush then thoroughly rinsed
off at reduced pressure which seemed to
do the trick
so with any parts that required a
separate deeper clean having been tended
to it was then time to suds up the naked
japanese triple with a strong
concentration of the demon foam product
which can be used as both a dedicated
snow foam and contact wash shampoo so it
began by blanketing the bike over with a
thick layer of dedicated and hopefully
long dwelling suds
they were then left to soak into the
bikes various details for a minute or so
and instead of rinsing them off thought
because they were made from the same
product that i'd be washing with i'd
keep the suds in situ
now there wasn't a whole lot of painted
or glossy parts to tend to so after
giving the few that were a suitable
contact wash with a microfiber mitt
followed with a once-over at the
surrounding satin finished surfaces and
if you're wondering why this short nap
met over a more plush one it was to stop
unsightly stray fibers getting snagged
on the bikes various design details and
from that perspective was uh definitely
the right choice
now while i'm not usually a fan of cheap
shampoos like these is you generally
need to double or even triple the dosage
to get any real suds and cleaning power
i did like this one after emptying a
quarter of a bottle into my bucket which
to be honest i don't think was entirely
necessary as i got the feeling even with
just a few more glugs than recommended
it still would have been adequately
sudsy and slick
so once all areas have been treated to a
thorough contact wash the bike was given
one final rinse with the pressure washer
being as thorough as i could without
getting too up close and personal as
much like a modern engine bait a modern
bike like this should be able to take a
good wetting down all three but there's
still components lurking out of sight
that won't benefit from sustained
exposure to pressurized water so rinsed
it off enough to remove the suds and any
last stray bits of dirt but no more than
that
my metro sidekick blower which was
originally designed for use on bikes was
then fired up to remove the bulk of the
rinse water from the yamaha's sod nooks
and crannies and as with most other
parts of the cleaning process it makes
sense to work from top to bottom when
blow dry to prevent blasting water onto
previously dried parts plus when working
on lower areas you need to be careful
around puddles of standing water or dust
so you don't recontaminate your bike or
car with all the grime you've just
removed
i wanted to give the demon shine product
which i think is primarily intended for
use on damp panels ago so generously
spritz the still wet wheels with the
sweet smell and pink product before
drying them over with a clean general
purpose towel which seemed to work well
and leave them with a nice slick streak
and smear free finish
to get a feel for it dry i then sprayed
over the various exposed satin painted
parts of the bike before wiping them
over and while it obviously wasn't going
to leave them looking glossy still serve
to spruce them up and i assume leave
some superficial protection behind that
will both help to repel dirt and make
future maintenance washing that little
bit easier
next up was a light enhancement of what
little non-painted plastic there was on
the bike with the pretty much odorless
demon tyres product is i obviously
couldn't dress these particular items
but figured i could still try it out on
some other areas
so the silicon-free formulation was
first brushed over a few parts including
the rubber radiator hoses which for such
a watery product left them looking
surprisingly rejuvenated and while some
surfaces were subsequently wiped over
with a towel to dampen them down a bit
others were simply left as they were
now while i doubt the finish it left
will last very long especially on
components that will get hot and likely
cause it to evaporate as a quick means
to visually enhance the various nooks
and crannies here it performed well even
doing a good job of eating through some
unsightly wax residue
so
the bike was then relocated into the
shed for a change of scene and said that
i could tend to a few bits undercover
starting with the removal of some more
wax residue from around the badges and
stickers and some adhesive from the
digital display all of which was a
relatively straightforward affair using
a wooden kebab skewer and an isopropyl
alcohol primed general purpose towel
wrapped finger
now although the painted blue petrol
tank wasn't particularly heavily swirled
it still made sense to at least treat it
to a single stage polish with my
cordless mini to brighten it up a bit as
it does likely get brushed up against
when riding plus it probably hadn't had
a dedicated polish in its four year life
so got to work giving it a relatively
thorough dual action jobby before
buffing off the residue with a fresh
general purpose towel
now i wasn't aiming for full correction
or anything kira's my dad will likely be
wiping it over with a damp shed sponge
at some point soon but if i could
enhance it a bit for the sake of five or
ten minutes work then great
the digital speedo was also a bit
scratched and swirled so after switching
to a smaller one-inch spot pad gave that
a similar once-over to restore some
clarity and knock back the majority of
the light marks without distorting the
surface before buffing it off with
another fresh towel to prevent
inflicting any new marks on the soft
plastic surface
i then finished the job off with a dry
spritz of the demon shine protectant on
the tank which was applied directly and
buffed off to leave an incredibly slick
feeling finish on the freshly polished
paintwork again i've got no idea how
long it'll last but it's so easy to
apply and you get so much of it for your
money that it not lasting forever
shouldn't really be a cause for
complaints
then aside from the last once over and
dust off to remove any loose bits and
bobs from the freshly cleaned and
detailed surfaces left at it that as the
foul-mouthed scaffolders were due in the
back garden behind the bedroom band boy
next door was about to fire up his
electric guitars thought bellowing
balanced out the window and the seagulls
would do a good kick off so had to take
advantage of the last half hour of
relative quiet and sanity to catch some
after shots
now i wasn't aiming for fully detailed
perfection with this cleaner likely
wouldn't have been able to achieve that
with these products anyway but the cheap
and cheerful demon items did do a
surprisingly good job at sprucing up the
nc09s various four-year-old surfaces and
so will likely be used on the bike again
by my dad in due course
so the machine cleaner served as an
effective pre-wash for the wheels and
capable degreaser for the grubby
mechanical parts
the demon wheels so they're not
particularly potent could potentially be
a cost-effective regular maintenance
cleaner for wheels that don't get too
ingrained
the weaker apc seemed to work well on
the yamaha's seat and i'm sure we'll be
up to the job of giving a car's interior
surfaces and sufficient once over the
demon foam at least at the concentrated
levels are used it created sufficiently
thick suds and felt slick and capable
when being applied from a bucket by hand
the glossy looking but non-greasy
silicone-free demon tyres although not
actually used on any here was still
great for quickly sprucing up the rubber
hoses and various other suitable
surfaces and the demon shine which was
dead easy to use wet or dry left a super
slick feeling finish especially on the
polished petrol tank and while i can't
realistically comment on the durability
of these products can say that they were
all pretty painless to use and obviously
didn't break the bank
so if you've got to grips with any of
these affordable products before let me
know what your experience was with them
in the comments below don't forget to
check the link in the description too to
potentially make some automatic online
savings with pouch and i'll see you
again with another dedicated narrated
video before the end of the month
