Pre-Rinse with the R18
Use the R18 to blast off loose dirt, dust, and mud. The retractable hose gives you full reach without the mess.
Pro Tip: Stay about 50cm back and avoid direct spray into bearings, electronics, or seals.
Foam it Up
Attach your BLAHST Foam Cannon and apply a layer of BLAHST Foam Wash. Let it dwell for a couple of minutes to break down grime - but don’t let it dry.
Agitate (Gently)
Use a soft brush or microfibre wash towels to clean high-contact areas—handlebars, wheels, chain guard, fairings. Be gentle around decals and painted areas.
Rinse Down
Use the R18 again to rinse off all soap and residue. Controlled pressure means no damage to seals, bearings, or wiring.
Drying with the Air Maxx
Forget towels. Hit your ride with the Air Maxx Blower Dryer for a streak-free, contactless dry. It blows warm filtered air to get into all the nooks—under seats, radiators, crevices, spokes and suspension.
Bonus: Great for drying gear and helmets too.
Pro Detailer Tip
Follow up with a ceramic spray like BLAHST’s Ceramic Hydrophobic Coating Spray to keep future mud and gunk from sticking. Keeps your bike looking mint for longer, and easier to clean next time.
