I take mine to the Local Power Wash. I start with a High pressure soap, Then use the Tire bright, Then Rinse with high pressure Water, Then use the Spot Free Rinse.

I tried the Garden Hose technique. It just doesn't have the power to get all the caked on dirt off.

Cost Usually $5.00 to $9.00.

Cost after last weekends Harescramble? Priceless!

:D

Same as above, rinse off all mud/dirt, except use WISK (liquid type only) laundry soap in spray bottle and soak bike well, let set for five minutes and power wash off, you will be surprised how well this works and it's cheaper than most other cleaners, try it once before you say what ??? :D

i pressurewash mine with some ramsorb degreser. its a enviromental company above our office. i spray it on and let it sit them pressure wash it off. then i take a wash bucket and dilute the ramsorb and hand wash it off. pressure wasing cleans it but the dirt and mudd leaves a residue on it that can tarnish rims and cases.
