    In particular, oil and acidic soiling, such as tar or bird droppings, should be cleaned immediately with an alcohol-based solvent. Immediately afterwards, rinsing with clear water or a pH-adjusted soap is recommended. This type of cleaning should be necessary after every longer ride.

    Nah.

        Funny enough, I love going through the car wash. I like it so much that I have one of those unlimited wash deals at my local soft touch place. I probably get 3 washes a week on average.

        But the idea that I’d have to do that is nuts. And the shit about special soap and whatever? No way.

          Yeah I feel like if you could do a normal car wash that’d even be somewhat more practical, but having this specific sequence of solutions and soaps. It’s so wild they published that recommendation seriously
