• Hi everyone,

    As you all know, Coffee (Dean) passed away a couple of years ago. I am Dean's ex-wife's husband and happen to have spent my career in tech. Over the years, I occasionally helped Dean with various tech issues.

    When he passed, I worked with his kids to gather the necessary credentials to keep this site running. Since then (and for however long they worked with Coffee), Woodschick and Dirtdame have been maintaining the site and covering the costs. Without their hard work and financial support, CafeHusky would have been lost.

    Over the past couple of weeks, I’ve been working to migrate the site to a free cloud compute instance so that Woodschick and Dirtdame no longer have to fund it. At the same time, I’ve updated the site to a current version of XenForo (the discussion software it runs on). The previous version was outdated and no longer supported.

    Unfortunately, the new software version doesn’t support importing the old site’s styles, so for now, you’ll see the XenForo default style. This may change over time.

    Coffee didn’t document the work he did on the site, so I’ve been digging through the old setup to understand how everything was running. There may still be things I’ve missed. One known issue is that email functionality is not yet working on the new site, but I hope to resolve this over time.

    Thanks for your patience and support!

Hi guys,

Been looking everywhere for this product, motorcross bikes always seem to be coated in it.

I think it comes in a spray formula? It's gives your bike a silicone feel which helps stop mud and grit sticking to it?

Does anyone know what it's called? Like I said alot of event bikes seem to be coated in it plastics engine the lot

Cheers,
Tel
 
After the Fort Rock Dualsport, I was looking at how clean Bill's (BMP) bike looked a couple days later. I remarked at how he must have spent hours to get it to look brand new again. No so, he has a couple sprayon products and the one I'm using now is Maxima SC1. Works way better than furniture polish IMO.
 
Cheers guys. Think I'll give pledge furniture polish a go first see how that goes as its only £1.00 in the local supermarket ifthat fails think I'll buy them products :)
 
I like this stuff and makes my bikes look great and newish.

makes the scratched up black stuff look new and seems to let the dirt fall off EZer.

- With any of this stuff keep it off the rotors.
 
I've always used Meguiars Ultimate Protectant Spray , you can get any auto parts store, Walmart etc. I sort of remember someone saying Pledge yellows things, like the old Armour ALL (i've had Armour All leave spots on my clear plastic gauge cover because i let it sit for a few minutes, so i stopped using it)
I've use Meguiars products for 20+ years all real high quality stuff.
 
Mutol Shine n' Go is really good.

My clean up routine is: Gently hose the bike down to get it wet and get the big dirt off. Then I spay it down with Shout fabric satin remover and let it sit for about 5 minutes while I take the rest of my gear out of the truck and put it away, but not let it dry on. Then I wash the whole bike with a bucket of soapy water (car wash soap) and a sponge and multiple brushes. Hose it off and start the bike up and towel it down. I ride in up and down the street a few times to dry it off. I hit the breaks a few time as well to dry the rotors and pads. Goes back in the garage on the bike stand and I dry the chain with a rage and lube it.

Then spray the pipe with WD-40 and the rest of the bike gets sprayed with Shine n' Go.

My bike looks brand new after every ride and the whole thing takes about 20 minutes. I just started using Shout about 6 months ago and it is fantastic. ( I used to use Simple Green)
 
I use the spray on 'no touch" tire cleaner (white foamy stuff) from the auto parts store. Bike looks very shiny and the the mudd comes off a lot easier at clean up. Been doing it for years. Just don't get it on your brakes or the seat :) or anything like that.
 
I use Mop & Glo, put on clean rag and wipe on the plastic. for undersides a quick spray of WD-40 works great, just keep it off the rotors

After pressure washing the bikes and before drying, I spray all the metal and engine components with Motorex silicon spray, I'm sure any brand would work. Then I hit the metal components with the pressure washer again. This spreads the silicon oil out very thin and removes the excess. Engine parts look brand new and are easily cleaned next washing.
 
In the UK I use a product called ACF50. Once the bike is cleaned spray on wipe off the excess leave to dry over night and then go and get the bike dirty :)
