Thankfully, you can do it without spending much time or effort—our simple hacks will help make your used motorcycle look brand-new in no time!
Give it a Thorough Cleaning
First, clean your motorcycle thoroughly to remove any dirt or grime. You’ll want to wash the bike with mild soapy water and use a soft-bristled brush to scrub off any stubborn gunk or stains. Once the motorcycle is clean, dry it with a microfiber towel or chamois and let it sparkle like new.
Invest in New Parts
You can also consider replacing any worn-out or damaged parts with brand-new parts. For example, you can change the seat, handlebars, and grips to boost your motorcycle’s aesthetic appeal. You can also replace the exhaust pipes and other chrome accessories to improve your bike’s performance. At the same time, upgrading your lighting system can help enhance your motorcycle’s safety and looks—so keep your options open!
Apply Polish
Polishing and waxing your motorcycle's paint can also help make it look brand-new again. Ideally, apply wax or polish once your bike is dry after washing. It’s a good idea to use a clay bar to remove any contaminants from the paint, then use a machine polisher or a microfiber cloth to rub on the polish evenly. Now, apply a coat of wax to protect the paint and give it some shine.
Detail the Chrome
If your motorcycle has any chrome parts, detail them to make a big difference in its appearance. Use a chrome cleaner and a microfiber towel to remove dirt or grime. Then use a chrome polish and a soft cloth to buff the chrome to shine. This can help make your bike look new and stay safe from rust and corrosion.
