so let me say kero is the way to go for sure.. excellent results.. sprayed on, grunge brush, rinsed off, towel dry, ride and lube.. done and done.. turned out kick ass.. now i am going to have to test the motul chain clean to see how it stacks up..

so how do you wash your bike if you don't get your chain wet?

Shit man it looks great! Good work. Glad it worked out for you. It's definitely the materials/method that I will continue to use indefinitely.

I sometimes do my detailing by hand, but also sometimes do the full-on hose jobbie. I just wait to do the cleaning of the chain until after the washing of the bike.

It's probably not a concern, just the way I like to do things. I guess I just meant to keep an eye out for small rust pittings and such
