Specialized Care for Your Prized Ride

Your Motorcycle Deserves Better Than Car Wash Treatment

Is your cherished motorcycle losing its showroom shine despite your best efforts? You’ve invested thousands in your ride—yet general auto detailers and car washes treat your prized possession like just another vehicle, using the same brushes and chemicals that can damage your bike’s delicate finishes.

Road grime embedded in your chrome. Water spots dulling your custom paint. Leather seats showing premature wear. These aren’t just cosmetic issues—they’re warning signs that your motorcycle isn’t receiving the specialized care it deserves.

Motorcycles face unique challenges on the road that cars simply don’t encounter. The exposed nature of all components means everything from bugs to road salt makes direct contact with your bike’s surfaces. Without proper motorcycle-specific cleaning protocols, these contaminants can cause lasting damage to finishes, moving parts, and electrical components. Generic car washes use high-pressure sprays and harsh chemicals that may be fine for automotive clear coats but can strip protective waxes and even damage the more delicate finishes found on motorcycles.

At Matt’s Automotive Service Center, we understand that your motorcycle isn’t just transportation—it’s an extension of your identity that deserves expert treatment by professionals who share your passion. Our dedicated motorcycle detailing bay is equipped specifically for two-wheeled machines, ensuring your bike never faces the indignity of inappropriate cleaning methods.

Motorcycle-Specific Detailing by Riders, for Riders

What separates true motorcycle detailing from generic cleaning services? It’s the understanding that motorcycles require fundamentally different approaches than automobiles:

• Surface-Specific Techniques – Each component of your motorcycle requires unique treatment, from chrome exhaust pipes to painted tanks to leather seats
• Specialized Products – We use only motorcycle-approved cleaning agents that protect rather than damage sensitive finishes
• Hand-Detailing Expertise – Our technicians are trained in the intricate detailing that motorcycles demand, reaching areas that others miss
• Protective Finishing – We apply appropriate sealants and protectants designed specifically for motorcycle surfaces

Our surface-specific techniques have been developed through years of experience with every type of motorcycle. We understand that the aluminum on your engine cases requires different treatment than your chrome pipes, which need different care than your painted surfaces. Each material receives its own dedicated cleaning process, tools, and products to ensure optimal results without cross-contamination.

The specialized products in our detailing arsenal are carefully selected for their compatibility with motorcycle materials. Unlike automotive products that might contain silicone or petroleum distillates harmful to motorcycle parts, our cleaning agents are formulated to clean effectively while preserving the integrity of your bike’s finishes. From pH-balanced wash solutions to motorcycle-specific metal polishes, every product touches your bike with purpose.

Our detailing team includes actual motorcycle enthusiasts who understand the pride you take in your bike. We recognize the difference between properly treating a Harley’s leather saddle and cleaning sport bike fairings—because we ride too. This passion translates into meticulous attention to detail, from properly removing road grime from between cooling fins to ensuring no water spots remain on your custom paint job.

When you bring your motorcycle to Matt’s, you’re not just getting a cleaning service; you’re partnering with specialists who value your bike as much as you do.

Experience the Difference of True Motorcycle Detailing

Imagine pulling up to your next group ride on a motorcycle that looks like it just rolled off the showroom floor. Picture the gleaming chrome catching the sunlight, the deep luster of perfectly maintained paint, and the admiring glances from fellow riders.

Our comprehensive motorcycle detailing services deliver results that generic detailers simply can’t match:

• Complete Surface Restoration – We remove oxidation, water spots, bug residue, and road grime that regular cleaning leaves behind
• Chrome Rejuvenation – Our specialized chrome polishing brings back the mirror finish without scratching or damaging the plating
• Paint Correction & Protection – We carefully remove swirl marks and apply motorcycle-specific protective coatings
• Leather & Vinyl Conditioning – Your seats and bags receive proper conditioning that prevents cracking while maintaining suppleness
• Engine Detailing – Safe cleaning techniques that remove built-up grime without risking damage to sensitive components

Our complete surface restoration process addresses the unique challenges motorcycles face. Unlike cars, motorcycles collect insects at every exposed surface—not just the front. Our multi-step process safely dissolves bug proteins without damaging finishes, then removes embedded particles with specialized tools designed to reach into crevices and between fins where residue typically accumulates.

Chrome rejuvenation is truly an art form at Matt’s. We understand the different types of chrome plating used on motorcycles and how each responds to different polishing compounds. Our technicians use progressive polishing techniques that restore brilliance without removing chrome plating—a common mistake made by inexperienced detailers that can lead to premature rusting.

Paint correction for motorcycles requires specialized knowledge that differs significantly from automotive techniques. Motorcycle clear coats are often thinner, and the complex curves of tanks and fairings demand different approaches than flat automotive panels. Our paint correction specialists understand these nuances and use appropriate pads, compounds, and techniques to remove imperfections while preserving coating integrity.

“I’ve tried everything from DIY to dealership services, but nothing compares to the detail work at Matt’s,” reports one satisfied Fargo rider. “They understand motorcycles in a way other shops don’t.”

Our service isn’t just about aesthetics—proper detailing protects your investment, preserves resale value, and helps identify potential maintenance issues before they become expensive problems. Many riders discover small fluid leaks, loose fasteners, or worn components during our detailing process, allowing for proactive maintenance before problems escalate.
