Motorcycle Detailing at the End of Riding Season: What to Do Before Storage

As riding season winds down in New Jersey, a proper detail is the best thing you can do for your bike before it goes into storage. Road grime, bug residue and brake dust left on a motorcycle all winter can stain paint and pit chrome.

Before-storage checklist

1. Degrease and wash. Engine areas and tight spaces collect oily grime that is much harder to remove after months of sitting.
2. Clean wheels and spokes. Brake dust is corrosive; spoke wheels need extra attention.
3. Care for the seat and bags. Clean and condition leather or vinyl so it does not crack.
4. Polish chrome and metal to remove water spots and protect against pitting.
5. Protect the paint so moisture and dust do not dull it during storage.
