Follow these simple steps to detail your motorcycle, ensuring it looks as impressive as the day you rode it off our lot.

Gather Your Supplies

Before you begin the detailing process, it's essential to have the right supplies on hand. You'll need a mop bucket, a mild automotive cleaner that's gentle on your bike's surfaces, a selection of soft microfiber cloths to prevent scratches, and a high-quality automotive wax for that final touch of shine. Always refer to the user manual that came with your motorcycle for a list of recommended cleaning products to ensure compatibility with your specific model.

Wash and Rinse Your Motorcycle

Start by thoroughly washing your motorcycle with the mild automotive cleaner and water, being careful to reach every nook and cranny. Rinse off the suds with clean water, and then dry your motorcycle completely with microfiber cloths to avoid water spots. This step is crucial to prepare your bike for the detailing that follows.

Deep-Clean the Tires and Wheels

Your tires and wheels often bear the brunt of road grime, so give them special attention. Use a product specifically formulated for cleaning motorcycle tires and wheels, and follow the instructions on the label for the best results. A deep clean will not only enhance their appearance but also ensure they're in top condition.

Freshen Up the Motor

The engine is the heart of your motorcycle, and it deserves to look its best. Apply an engine brightener to give your motorcycle's engine a refreshed, shiny finish. Be sure to protect sensitive components according to your motorcycle's guidelines while applying the product.

Protect the Finish

Finally, protect your motorcycle's finish by hand-applying a layer of wax. Carnauba wax offers a deep, natural shine and is great for a classic look, while synthetic wax provides long-lasting protection. Choose the one that best suits your preference and the needs of your motorcycle.

Whether you're looking to maintain your current ride's luster or find a new one that catches your eye, ACES Motorcycles - Denver is here for you. Our service department is also at your disposal for all your motorcycle maintenance and repair needs, ensuring your bike always performs at its best.
