considering foam as a first step on motorcycles

[Lance Mark]

Recenltly I've been considering the endless nooks and crannies on a bike and the benefit that could be had by starting by covering the bike in foam and rinsing it off.

I really don't mind cleaning it all gently by hand, but I'm wondering if by foaming I would see a benefit

I'm looking to try it out if some folks here can give me some guidance

is there a decent foam attachment I can add to a hose to try it out?
would Bilt Hamber stuff be a good choice, I'm looking for a product that does a good job of lifting dirt and such without touching the surface...is there such a thing?
as for a rinse, I'm open to a small pressure washer, but can I get it done with just a hose and the right nozzle?

The closest thing I've found that matches your criteria is S100 Total Cycle Cleaner. It can be a little pricey so I will usually only use it for the hard-to-reach areas, i.e., engine cases, wheels, lower frame, steering head, etc.

A pressure washer is nice but not absolutely necessary.

If you're dead-set on foaming, I would do the selected areas with S100 first and then proceed to foaming and your normal wash routine for the entire bike.

When using the S100 it must be rinsed away before it dries. The ambient temp and humidity will play a major role in your working time; thus, there are times where I will do sections at a time rather than the entire bike at once.

Bilt Hamber Touchless says it can work with hose pressure but have not tried it. I would foam whatever your using with an IK foam 12.

Whatever you use I would look for something alkaline or acidic in nature as a ph7 cleaner doesn’t do much
