Kevin - thanks for the compliment!! OK - I'll share my routine/detailing "secrets":

1. GUNK foamy engine brite. Spray all over - but it can ruin decals so be careful!

2. Use a sponge with a pot scrubber (3M Scotchbrite or equivilant). SCRUB SCRUB SCRUB!!! Now here's a secret - scratches usually come out with a Mr Clean Magic Eraser! 

3. Rinse down completely, try not to soak the engine too much - especially if the engine has a points ignition. Repeat cleaning any stubborn spots, including tires. Rinse off.

4. Blow off with leaf blower, then towel dry it good.

5. I then spray Armor-all over the entire machine! It brings up lifeless/dull paint like you wouldn't believe! If your paint is good, use any good quality automotive wax (I like Mother's California Gold).  Do the tires & engine with Armor All too.

I want to see all our member's rides now. They should look like "new money"!!!

Thanks for the tips Marty. Mr. Clean Eraser! My wife swears by them. I just told her what you use them for.

I think she just went upstairs to hide her stash from me.  LOL
