I’m sure this has been ask before but, whatever=)

So what do you use to clean your carbon frame? In the past someone once told me to use pledge? Thoughts & Comments?

i wash my bikes with Simple Green and water. To give them a nice shine, i use Pedro’s Bike Lust silicone polish. Works great.

To clean it I use regular old car wash and water. To wipe it down once a week or so, I use baby wipes.

I use windex. Seems to work well for cleaning and shining up the clear coat.

Pedros Bike Wash when it is really dirty but most of the time I use Pledge (or it’s no name equivalent).

2x on the baby wipes

I use windex to clean the dirt off and then to put a great shine on I use Plexus for a protective coating. The more Plexus the easier it is to wipe down in the future and the better looking the finish.

I second the simple green. That’s what my LBS bike fitter and mechanic use also.

Thanks for the suggestion about bike lust! I’m going to grab some and try it out.
