Dry motorbike washing, how to wash your motorbike without water!

Dry motor washing is a method consisting of motorbike cleaning and polishing steps without using water.

This cleaning method recently became increasingly popular thanks to the creation of specific products – precisely called ‘savewater’ products – which are rinse-free.

How to clean your motorbike without water

To clean your motorbike without water, you just need a microfibre cloth to apply the product on the surface in question without water. A microfibre cloth suitable for this application is, for instance, “Extra Brilliance”

Once the water-free product has been sprayed on the part in question, it will cause solid dirt to emerge and then it will be removed with the cloth.

After this first stage, we recommend wiping the surface again with a clean microfibre cloth. When you wipe again, you will also eliminate any remaining grease residues, the so-called ‘traffic film’.

When using the cloth, we recommend gently cleaning in one direction without pressing too much. It is best to wipe always in one direction (for example, from right to left).

Dry motorbike washing products

Dry motorbike washing products contain polymers that act by causing the dirt to emerge, so that it can be easily removed. Water-free motorbike wash products normally have very specific properties.

The properties of water-free wash products

They do not leave marks and dry very quickly: any liquid, including water, that remains on the motorbike’s surface for too long, causes annoying marks and residues, particularly visible on black bodywork

They contain emulsified waxes: this allows you to obtain a polishing and protective effect, as well as cleaning the surface

The surfactants they contain are biodegradable: the product residues that will remain on the cloth, once the motorbike is cleaned, will be eliminated with a normal wash. In any case, the use of biodegradable surfactants guarantees maximum environmental compatibility
They are made with water: The absence of abrasivesand the minimal presence of solvents guarantee maximum safety on any kind of plastic and metal surface

The product specifically designed by us for dry motorbike washing is:

– BLAKE MOTO: dry cleaner in a trigger version, effective against dirt and limescale stains
