  • Washing:Wash every week (take it to a water center when there too much hard mud sothat pressure cleaning canbe done, ensure he does NOT directly spray on the bike...ask him to use his finger so that spray is notdirect the water should flowlike a garden spray).

    You need:1. Bucket and shampoo2. Good towel which is lint free3. Old tooth brush and paint brush and Kerosene or Diesel4. Oil or appropriate lubricant5. Plastic cover6. Adhesive tapes7. Chamois leather (optional :))

    Shampooing: Don't use Nirma, Wheel, and Surf etc. They will just eat the latexcoat (which gives theshine). The best solution is to use a Wax Based Carcleaning shampoo and the economic solution is to use aShampoo like Sunsilk orGarnier if you prefer :)

    1. Always choose a cool and shady place at the same time do not do this atnight you might not see able tosee the grim properly. Ensure that there isno direct sun light as sun light might leave hard to remove andugly waterstains.

    2. Before you start the washing, take an old paint brush. Dip it in Kerosene or Diesel and apply to oilstained area or areas with strong grim such as under the chassis, crankcase etc. Kerosene or Diesel willease the grim easily.

  • tips:

    3. Pour the shampoo in the bucket and fill it if possible with warm water.Warm water removes stains anddust well than cold water.

    4. Cover Silencer, Control Cables (handle bar), Spark plus unit with plasticcovers to ensure that the waterdoesnt get into it.

    5. Remove keys and stick adhesive tape so that water doesnt seep in.

    6. Do spot stain checking and apply the washing shampoo to stain spots usingtoothbrush.

    7. Start washing from top to bottom.

    8. Wash her once and check for spots. If needed do it again.

    9. Now spray plain water all over the bile again bottom to top.

    10. Ensure that there no soap left.

    11. Shake your bike or move it front and back to shake of excess water.

    12. Now put her on side stand and let her idle for 5 mins and remove the plasticcovers.

    13. Now wipe her dry using Chamois leather.

    14. Lubricate all joints.

    Now your bull is spotless and clean :)

    Always wet and wring chamois leather before drying your bike. Itwill absurd morewater than a dry one.

    Before starting the bike, close the fuel tap and open the overflow nut in the Carb. Let all the petrol runaway. Now tighten it.Again do the same. This will remove any water that is present inthe carb.

    Paint Polishes:

    This is an interesting subject. Basically there are two types of polishes, Synthetic and Organic. Anypolymerbased polish is an example of Synthetic type whereas any waxbased polish is an example oforganic wax.

  • Synthetic:The biggest benefit of synthetic polish is the LIFE of the polish. Some polishesavailable in the US evenwork for 5 years if applied properly. The problem withSynthetic polishes is that the lower polymers in thepolish bond with the paint surface which prevents expansion or contraction of paints with respect totheclimatic condition, which might cause the paint to crack. This will change intime and the latest oneshave overcome this problem.

    Organic:Since these are organic they bond really well with the paint and do not affect the expansion or thecontraction of the paint thereby preventing cracking.They also tend to give a better shine and richnessthan a synthetic polish. The only problem with them is LIFE and being oil based it attracts more dustthansynthetic ones which have almost no oil. You might have to apply every monthor week based on yourclimatic conditions.My personal choice is to go for any Polish that has Carnauba wax. Eg: Formula1 carwax or Carnauba Straight. Also, wax paste is better than liquid wax.

    If you live near very dusty environment, then the best one is Synthetic polishes.Zaino is the best.

    Applying Polish:

    Now get a good wax polish (refer below). Apply it evenly in circular motion or as specified, somemanufacturers prefer vertical straight motion. Leave it for amin and you will see the haze now (varieswith polishes). Puff it in circularmotion or as specified. Now the paint is shining and you can see yoursmilereflected :)

    Test:Drop a drop of water. If it stays you need wax more, if it ran down without atrace, give yourself a pat.

    Rainy days:Rust is the best villain. Good polish like Zaino should protect your bull for 2weeks and Carnauba basedones will protect you for 1 week. During this timethey will have water repellant effect and will graduallyweaken. So polish yourBULL frequently.

    Economic solution (metal and chrome) Try this:

    Buy a Flint or Baygon Spray sprayer. Mix 1 part of Kerosene to 2 parts ofCoconut oil. Now spray it all overthe bike using the sprayer. Give 30 mins andwipe clean. This will prevent your bike from rust. The onlysore point, OILATTRACTS DUST and GRIME. So be ready to wipe her everyday.

    Now if you do the above mentioned every week and wipe once a day, yourBULL will be ageless like a MonaLisa :>=

  • Polishes:Imported (Ranking in order):

    1. Zaino Z2 with Z1 (This was voted the best and can last for 4 weeks)2. Einszentt Glanz Wax3. Eagle Ones NanoWaxSource: Guru Reports Ultimate Wax test http://forums.roadfly.org/forums/detailing/52563891.htmlwww.gurureports.com

    Others:

    1. Formula 1 (Cheap and good Carnauba wax polish)2. Arexons Wax3. Turtle Wax4. Armour all5. STP6. Mothers Wax7. Waxpol8. Wax it9. Carnauba Straight

    Tidbits:

    The History of Carnauba WaxCarnauba wax is a resin produced by the wax palm tree Copernicia Cerifera. This treegrows in variousparts of South America. However, only the trees in the Northeasterntropical rain forests of Brazil producethe premium quality wax used by MOTHERS.

  • Carnauba is available in various grades of purity and clarity: #1 yellow is the top gradegoing downward to#2 yellow, #3 yellow, and various other commercial grades. For our wax products (California GoldCarnauba Cleaner Wax, California Gold OriginalFormula Paste Wax, California Gold Natural FormulaPure Carnauba Wax; paste andliquid; and Hot Wheels Premium Wax) we use #1 yellow exclusively, thefinest gradeof carnauba available.

    Carnauba has a very strong grain structure and is the hardest wax known to man. In addition to beingincredibly durable, carnauba dries to a deep, natural shine (in contrast, bees wax, paraffin and manysynthetic waxes tend to cloud and occlude). Carnauba wax is produced by the leaves of the tropicalcarnauba tree as protectionfrom the incredibly harsh conditions of the tropical rain forest intense heat,harshequatorial sun and constant moisture and humidity.Any surface coated with carnauba wax will besimilarly protected. Aside from automotive appearance products carnauba wax is used as a finishcoatingon a wide variety of items including: fine furniture, tobacco pipes and produce(apples, pears, etc.are sprayed with carnauba to achieve their polished look). Its a major ingredient in lipstick and othercosmetics. Before the advent of vinyl it was usedextensively in producing phonograph records. Carnaubawax is so pure its routinelyused to coat pills in the pharmaceutical industry.

    Chrome Polishing:What is Chrome plating?

    Not going into technical analysis, chrome plating is nothing but coating acomponent or part of you BULLwith a mixture of metals, primarily Chromiumand Nickel. Chrome plating gives great luster and mirror

  • like to finish. Someexample of Chrome plated parts in your BULL are Handle Bar, Silencer, CrashGuard,Saree Guard and so on.

    Note: The crankcase is Buffed Aluminum and not Chrome. Check out theAluminum section.

    Applying Polishes:

    General rule for any polish applies, first try in a small spot. If satisfied goahead.

    1. Apply the polish to the chromed region in circular mode or as instructed bythe manufacturer.2. Leave it for a min to form a haze (again check instructions).3. Now wipe it clean and buff it with a clean turkey towel or any cotton clothwhich is lint free.4. Apply some wax.

    Do the water test. The chrome parts will be as good as a Mirror.

    Polishes:

    1. ICI Silicon Polish (Rating: 3/5)2. Zinc Chloride or Chalk Powder (2/5)3. Mr.Metal (4/5)4. Eagle Ones Mag, Chrome and Aluminium Polish (yet to be tested)

    Alluminum:

    Polished Aluminum's life (life of the gloss not the metal) is less as it tarnishes because of oxidation. Itbecomes dull very fast and water based stains if notwiped immediately will stay for long.

    This is what I am doing currently. I am using "Autosol" polish for Aluminum (Its available in hardwareshops).

    1. Apply it on the aluminum part and rub in circular motion. You will see the cloth turning black (willexplain this later).2. Once it's really black, change it and use a clean cloth and buff itas much as you can. There are twoschools of thought one which says leavethepolish for 12 mins before polishing and the other which saysdon'tleave any gap. I prefer the second school. Will try the first schooland update later.3. Leave it to dry and apply some wax.

  • Tip:

    Tip: Dip the Aluminum Foil in COKE for best results :)

    1. Polishing Aluminum is little different. The skill here is the speed andnot PRESSURE.Thats why they use high speed buffing wheels. SO thefaster you polish the SHINNER shegets.2. I told about those BLOODY waster spots. There is a solution. Mix 1portion of vinegar

    to 1 portion of water. Apply this mixture to then spotsand leave them for a min. Now wipe it. Recentspots will vanish. Repeatthis process again and again till the OLD spots disappear. This will notcause anyharm for aluminum.

    Polishes:1. Eagle Ones Mag and Aluminum Polish ( www.eagleone.com )2. Mr.Metal ( www.mrmetal.com )3. Autosol

    RUST:What the bl*** hell is this Rust?When iron combines with oxygen, it forms iron oxide, or rust. Iron oxide is alarger molecule than iron, soif iron oxidizes; it often puffs up and may evenflake. This is because the rust requires more physical spacethan the originaliron. Once rust is formed, there is mobile oxygen in the metal, and the oxygencan movedeeper into the metal causing further rust.

    Removing RUST:

    I am going to give you various ways rust can be removed. If the rust is quite oldor if it has marked itsterritory deep, then the best thing to do will be tochrome plate it again so that it doesnt eat the steel.1. Aluminum Foil:Well you never thought of this right. Try this. Take Aluminum Foil and wrap itaround your finger and rub it until the rust disappears. Ensure that the shinyside rubs the rust. Works on basic to medium rust.

    2. Zinc Chloride or Chalk Powder:Soft rust can be removed by applying zinc chloride or chalk powder. Wet apiece of cloth and dab somepowder and apply on the rusted area. Rub it untilthe rust is removed.

    3. TEA :)This again works for soft to medium rust. Prepare real think strong tea. Letssay you should use 5 tea bagsfor 300 ml of water. Ensure it brews enough andthats the crucial part. Now let it cool for 510 mins. Now

  • Tip: After you remove the rust, polish it with Chrome polish (I use ICIsSilicon Polish) andapply some wax or kerosene/coconut oil mixture to keep therust away :)

    soak the rusted partin the Tea for 24 hours or until the rust disappears. Wipe it, dry it and applypolish toit. Voila is sparkling.

    Okay how does this worksee basically Tea contains tannic acid which attacksthe rust.

    4. Rubbing Compound:This is used widely but I am little worried because if not properly used it caneat the metal. Go to anypaint store and buy some rubbing compound. The rubbing compound is an abrasive which basically eatsRUST and sometime the metal also. Dab some compound on a cloth and rub it in the rusted part tillthe rust disappears. Now wash the area with mild shampoo and dry it. Apply somepetroleum jelly andwipe it clean after one hour. This neutralizes any residue of the compound. Now polish it. Well keepwatching this page I will give detailed study on Rubbing Compounds.

    Some Rust Removers:

    WD40 Rust Remover / Multipurpose Lubricant (I dont remember his name butsomeone brought this topic in our Bull Meeting last Saturday)Rustlick 631 DEF11 from ITW signode India LTD

    Preventing Rust:

    Option 1: Apply a mixture of 1:2 Coconut Oil: Kerosene using a spray gun orSprayer.Option 2: Apply petroleum jelly.Option 3: Mix 1 part of Anhydrous Lanolin (Any pharmacy or chemical shop)with 5 parts of Paint Thinner.Apply this mixture using a brush. This will form apreventive coat.

    Caution: Some might be allergic to Anhydrous Lanolin

    Wheel Detailing:Usually we do not give much attention to this part which is as important as thebikes engine. I can pushmy bike without an engine but can I without wheels :). So now sit up and concentrate because a littleattention on your wheels canmake your bike look lot younger 100 times SEXIER. Keeping the wheels intopshape can bring a mediocre bull to Top shape. Now lets cut to the cheese.

    For cleaning purpose, wheel is divided into three parts: tyres, rims and spokes.Now lets look into each of them.

  • Tyres:

    How important is the look of the tyre? Well you might wear the Giorgio Armani suit, a designer watch,imported shoes, the best fragrance and then if you haveunkept hair which is shabby and colored in allpossible ways with dirt and grease how will it look? Thats exactly how your bull will look if the tyresare not treated with respect. Also, just like how a well kept hair prevents Balding a well kept Tyreprevents cracking and improves the life of the tyre.

    Of all parts, tyres are subjected to worst treatment. Heat changes due tocontinuous riding and stopping,bruising from the well laid Indian Roads,scuffing and so on. So please help them and keep them smiling.Here is how todo it :)=.

    Cleaning a Tyre:

    1. First inspect for small glass pieces, stones, gravels etc and remove them.These little things impact thelife of the threads.2. Now take soft brush or sponge and wash the tyre with water.3. Now using a mild soap solution (car wash solutions or mild shampoos) washthe tyre.4. Dry them suing a soft lint free cloth.

    Note:Never wash the tyres immediately after a ride. Give it a rest of 1 hour beforewashing. This will cool thetyre and make it ready for you.

    Tyre Polishing:

  • Polishing not only improves the look but also the life of the tyres.

    1. Select a nonsilicone and nonformaldehyde tyre polish. Formaldehydemight cause harm in due courseby separating the body ply from the sidewalls of the tyres.2. Apply the tyre polish evenly in circular motion and leave for 1 min (or asinstructed by manufacturer).3. Wipe the tyre and wait for 2 mins.4. Now shine it for a rich and great luster.

    rims:Rims are mostly chrome plated. Refer to the section on chrome to know about polishing as I willconcentrate on just cleaning.

    1. The most important part is the place where the spokes are attached to therim. This is where most ofthe rust and grime settle. Take a toothbrush andkerosene and apply it in the joints. Scrub them lightly.

    2. Now take some mild soap solution (For me diluted Prill works well). Usingthe toothbrush apply them inthe joints and also on the rim surface andsides of the rims. You can also use a small sponge for this. Leaveit for aminute.

    3. Now rinse them with clean water.

    4. Now apply chrome polish as described in the article.

    Spokes:

  • Tip: Using a brass brush helps in removing rust and also minimizes scratches.They can makeyour bull exoticor crap, there isno two ways

    about it. Withproper care they will shine for long time. The OEM spokes for RE is not chromeplated anddo not have a mirror finish. They are made of Mild Steel and have mild shine. The Hub is made ofAluminium and not buffed to shine. Oil and grime are frequent visitors to our spokes and hubs. If leftunattended, they willencroach space and settle there as Permanent guest which is not GOOD. Lets seehow to take care of them.

    1. Based on the grime or how bad your spokes are, decide on what you need touse. If its really bad then use Fine Scotch Brite. If not then use Sponge.

    2. Kerosene is a very good grime remover. Use the Scotch Brite/Sponge andapply kerosene on the spokes and rub till the grime is removed.

    3. Now clean the HUB using a toothbrush and some kerosene.

    4. Now take some mild soap solution (for me diluted Prill works well). Using arinsed scotch Brite/spongewash the spokes till its clean.

    5. Wipe it clean with lint free towel.

    6. You can apply all purpose metal polish or chalk powder. Refer to thepolishing section for more details.

  • 7. Buff them clean for a good shine and big smile on your face.

    Tip: You can polish the Hub using a Metal Polish such as Mr.Metal, Autosol,Mothers or EaglesAluminium Polish. Refer to the polishing section for moredetails. Since they are powder coated

    will take a long time.

    Removing Stickers:

    1. First you need to kill the properties of the sticker. The best way to do thisis, use a Hair Dryer and blowthe sticker for 5 mins at varying speed. Thiswill heat the stickers and loose its properties. Alternative is toapply warmwater, not HOT water, and let is soak for 34 mins.

    2. As you apply heat slowly pull the sticker off at 90 degree angle. Almostevery sticker comes off this way.

    3. If you still have pieces one. Apply an alcohol based solution or paint thinner(Do not use it if the surfaceis painted) or Nail Polish remover. Some believeeven Pepsi or Coke can help due to Acetone in it. Nowgently rub it with youfingers.

    4. Wash the area with mild shampoo and dry it.

    5. If the sticker is still present, use kerosene and wipe it away.

    6. Now apply was polish in the surface and buff it.

    This is how I removed the bloody KUN HYUNDAI sticker from my Santro :). Also,you can take it to any sticker shop and ask them to remove it.

    General Tips:

    1. Bird Droppings: Use warm water instead of cold water, warm water (NOTHOT WATER) will ease theprocess. First wet the bird dropping and leave for2 mins then add little shampoo and gently rub wipe witha soft cloth.

    2. Do not use SPONGE to wash your BULL. Sponge by default is coarse and small mud particles tend tocollect in the small pores. This will result inminute scratches which over the year will dull the paint. Usesoft cloth andkeep rinsing it.

    3. For drying the best is Chamois leather. If it aint available, use Terryclothtowels.

    4. The best indicator to determine if your bike needs waxing is WATER. Drop little water on the petroltank. If it runs away without leaving a trail thenyour bike is perfect. If stays as drop or leaves trial, itstime to WAX her.This is a real good test during rainy days to determine if you bull needs awax coat.

    5. Ouch there is a deep scratch. Apply Petroleum Jelly. It will keep the rust atbay till you paint it.

  • 6. Removing Stiff OIL grime: The best solution is Kerosene/Diesel (I prefer diesel as it doesnt leave atrail). Take a brush and apply kerosene. It willloosen the grime. Now wash the area will your shampoo.Its as clean as awhite horse.

    7. Shampoos will leave strain if left for long. The best will to wash your bike isclean one side of the bikeand rinse it, then move to the second side. Thiswill you can eliminate the soap from drying.

    Going on Vacation?

    If you are going on a long vacation (10 days or more), do the following:

    1. Clean you bike completely.

    2. Apply polish to the painted area, BUT DO NOT BUFF OR CLEAN, leave it likethat. This will form a goodprotection.

    3. Apply automotive wax or furniture wax to chrome and aluminum areas.

    4. Apply petroleum jelly to electrical points.

    5. Inflate tyres and apply Tyre polish or Kiwi Wax Shoe Polish (Not liquid ones)

    Note:These are only for the external maintenance such as Paints, chrome andaluminum not for the BULL as such.

    FAQs:

    (Various question raised by Bullsnot in any order)1. Brasso: the shopkeeper says its only for brass and not for aluminum.

    True. Do not use BRASSO.

    2. Silvo/silverso: its for the chrome plated parts ,but can i use it on paintedsurface,like the tank?

    Silvo/silverso: Only for Chrome. NOT for Paint...PLS dont even touch paint withthis/ Alternate for chromeand aluminium Fine chalk powder.

  • 3. waxpol: what is this for? how is it?

    waxpol: Wax polish for paint Indian made, Grade Okay. try Formula 1 orArmour wax its really good.

    4. powder wax: does it damage colour?

    Pls dont use....use liquid or paste wax

    5. today i bought a aluminumoxide paper which is the size of a A4 sheet butcosts 75Rs! the shopkeepersaid that it wud remove SCRATCHES! its from agerman company called "Wurth" and he claims that it isused by Mercedescar owners to remove scratches. thought , my bull too deserves such athing and boughtit. didnt use it yet. Have u heard of such a paper...its called 1200 paper,they also have 1000,2000papers.think,the number issome quality number.

    This is really long one but will try to cut it short: Have you heard of Sandpaper...I am sure you have...now this Alm oxide is one of the family. What youhave bought is a REAL fine sand paper coated with Alm Oxide which is used forfinishing metal parts like crankcase. the number 1000 signifies how fine yoursandpaper is. 1000 is Super Fine. This is needs to used carefully by exp peopleelse will result in fine scratches and uneven finish.

    jewelers rouge (A very fine powder of ferric oxide) is the best material to polish Aluminum body. Youcan get it at jewelers hardware shops. Just clean and rub the surface with 1000 No. water paper (3Mcompany) with diesel or kerosine. Finally polish with 1200 No.water paper. Take little quantity ofjewelers rouge with water and rub that paste on Aluminum body. Polish with woolen cloth till you getmirror surface. Feel free to exchange your ideas ([email protected])

    At what portions sould be wax applied?? Could it be used to parts undergoing high temperatures.

    Posted on 4:34:00 AM

    shankar Said,

    @ ashvary wax should ideally be applied on the paint portions of your bullet !! You may apply on thechrome areas too but applying on to high temp. parts is a strict no no !!!
