Finishing Touches; Removing Road Salt - Honda CB1000R Owner's Manual

Finishing Touches

After washing your motorcycle, consider
using a commercially-available
cleaner/polish or quality liquid or paste wax to
finish the job. Use only a non-abrasive polish
or wax made specifically for motorcycles or
automobiles. Apply the polish or wax
according to the instructions on the container.

Removing Road Salt

The salt contained in the road surface
spray freezing prevention medicine which a road
was sprayed with in winter and the seawater
becomes the cause which rust occurs in.
Wash your motorcycle by the following point
after it runs through such a place.
1. Clean the motorcycle using cool water
(page 140).
Do not use warm water.
This worsens the effect of the salt.
2. Dry the motorcycle and the metal surfaces
protected with wax.
