I understand that one just can't hose down classic bike because it will rust. So what are any recommendations for cleaning the bike after every ride? Just wipe off with a cloth? Or use any special solvents for the delicate frame/decals? And what are the recommended wax/coat to protect the frame from further wear? I just want my bike to look as sparkling as 'Edward'!
I'll just wipe with a clean cloth every now and then after my ride Make sure you keep it dry at all times You can have a thin coat of car wax to clean and polish the chrome too Classic steel bicycles are made of good quality steel, they don't rust easily
Hi thanks for the advise..im noob in steel bike..i have another question ..is polishing the chromed parts; example a chain stay which have a chrome section..is it ok for me to "autosol" it to make it shine and remove some minor rust?
