Well, it's that time of year again. Some dry pavement is starting to appear. A glimpse of sunlight from time to time. It won't be long now. Time to remove as much accumulation of winter residue as possible before real riding season is here.

A lot of people recommend BOM cleaning products for this type of work. I happened to run across this Eagle One stuff at an auto parts store and it works pretty well. Plan on using up several paper towels and following up with spray wax and a real cloth to bring out a shiny finish.
