Washing a motorcycle can be a real pain, but it bears riding a dirty bike. To keep my bike clean for longer, without taking up too much time and effort, I use a trio of Motul products. Part of Motul’s MC Care range, they’re called Moto Wash, Wash & Wax, and Shine & Go.

These three bottles are literally all I need to keep my bike smiling from the outside, and I’ve been using them as a combo to achieve a longer-lasting shine.

Start with Moto Wash—a powerful biodegradable degreaser for the entire motorcycle. Spray it onto the bike, let it soak for a few minutes, and then spray it off with some water. Make sure you spray it on thick enough—as I do on my engine covers to get rid of anti-freeze splatter and other debris. The degreaser really does work a treat, and once rinsed off with water it dries without streaking and leaves a corrosion-resistant film to protect the paint.

Once you’ve dried the bike off, give it a good old spray with Motul’s Wash & Wax. The best part is that you don’t need a bucket of water, so you can use Wash & Wax anywhere. All you need is two microfibre cloths, a shaded-off area and Wash & Wax. ‘W&W’ cleans and shines up all surfaces in-depth, leaving a protective wax film for extended effectiveness.

Shine & Go is essentially a travel companion, or what you spray onto your bike after a short ride to keep it in tip-top shape. Yes, it’s not a habit just anyone can form, but boy is it better than cracking out the soapy stuff at the end of the week. It too has a clever formula that helps revive the colours of your motorcycle’s plastic surfaces, like fairings, paint, fenders, and mirrors—leaving a long-lasting non-sticky protective film.
