Lol, that's what I was thinking.

I was all excited thinking we could now use 'snake oil' in our engines, supplied by the same company.

Do people actually wash their bikes then?

These rags are unreal! My old old honda shop used then on there new bikes so I bought one years ago u just wet rag ring out water and wipe your bike if it streaks the rag is to wet ring out again and wipe. Will save you time and your bike will shine!!

I was each bike once a year, whether they need it or not. The CB750 got its spring bath last week and the CB11 gets its birthday bath tomorrow.

Since it rarely rains here in the desert, the primary problem is that the bikes get dusty. For that I use a California Car Duster. It uses wax impregnated yarn to smoothly lift dust off the paintwork. Works great.

Washed the dried mud and water spots off the bike, polished the chrome with Eagle One polishing wadding, used a cleaner and wax on the painted bits and generally cleaned up the rest of the shiny stuff. I use these kinds of wring out and wipe chamois all the time, and they are pretty good. Sadly, I rode home last night in the sleet,and the bike is filthy and covered in water spots and general grime. Time for another cleaning tomorrow.

How does a product like that work on all the dried dead bugs that collect on one ride in the country?

I live in the country far out in the sticks for real this rag works great. Buy one try it you will love it. It's fast and easy bugs wipe right off.

I don't want to be the harbinger of bad news, but around twelve years ago I was co-instructor on an advanced training ride with my former boss. The student was raving about these 'magic cloths' he was importing from America.

After some pretty boring demonstrations of bike and helmet scrubbing we were each presented with a cloth to keep, which was nice.

As I sit here in 2014, these same cloths are now simply known as 'microfibres cloths' and can be bought for pence anywhere.

$22 for a pack of three seems a bit steep, in this day and age. That is unless you get a free bottle of snake oil bundled with it!

Can of Mr Sheen (furniture polish) and cotton rags. I think a can is $3, lasts a couple months...clean, degrease, polish all in one.
