    Right, time for a stupid question :rolleyes::rolleyes:
    I am new to this detailing malarky, my bikes normally get washed once a year whether they need it or not and that's normally done by the dealer when it gets a service :p:p
    I have some snow foam and before I do something stupid thought I would ask ;);)
    Can I snow foam my bike? Am just a little concerned that it may ruin the seat. I know it sounds daft as the seat is designed to be used in all weathers but the snow foam does say not to be used on soft tops so wanted to check first :worried::worried:
    Any thoughts? :cool::cool:

    Take your seat off and keep you distance from the bike whilst spraying it.
    Cover ya battery, and pop a rag in the exhaust.
    Completely fine to use snow foam, I recommend it, just let the foam sit a while before hosing it off.
