Ceramic coating dirt bike

I have experimented a little bit. I found that it makes the bike very slick. So on the shrouds and sides of the bike, its very slippery until You wear it down.  I did it on a few random sets of graphics I did and one complete bike. I used the type made for Vehicle wraps.  I'm not sure it really did much . It was shiney for photos and hydrophobic. But I did not get any feedback from the customer saying that it was overall much different.  I'll be interested in hearing what others have to say. I'm still going to experiment with it more .

 I think it's too slick for using on the sides of the bike. It's like when I was a kid and put armor all  on my entire bike that one time.   

Coated my helmet about a year ago. Has held up well. Still shows scuffs/scratches but cleans up very easily. As far as the rest of the bike, I would be afraid plastics would be too slick once coated. Parts such as wheels/hubs, forks could very well benefit from being coated.

Have seen some guys on YouTube use the cerakote trim wipes on airboxes and tanks to make the black look new again. 

what about under fenders … will it allow for less build up and easier washing? 

It will help woth cleaning it but once you use a degreaser it will most likely remove it or start to remove some of the film build that was applied and will need redone eventually

I use SC1 or silicone spray for that purpose. 
I bet the ceramic coatings would do at least as well, but I believe they cost more and take a bit more to apply correctly.

I hit the underside of my fenders, my number plates, fork guards and rims with SC1 or silicone spray.
Huge help with the clay tracks that are ripped and watered (Washougal), or muddy days at the track (Washington State).
After that first practice session, there's far less mud and clay stuck to the bike and it comes off easier.

A $12 can of SC1 goes a long way.

You can also use "Blaster Silicone Lubricant" for the same purpose if you want to save a few bucks.

I use 1:10 cheap two stroke oil mixed with gasoline. You can just soak all the areas you want to coat and the gasoline will just evaporate leaving a nice even coat of oil. Works great against dirt build up under the fenders and I think it's an amazing protection for al your bare aluminum.

You can't be serious

Hydrosilex is some great stuff.  It's a spray on/wipe off product that is awesome on anything you want to protect.  

This is what I do, but really only on black plastic that you won’t rub or need to use to hold on to. Gas tanks and air boxes. Also works great on car trim. It makes the black look wet almost, but it will stay like that for months and there is no oily residue when you touch it. Below is a before and after of an older crf250 tank. 

Dead serious

Homemade cosmoline?

SC-1 is great for stuff like that. I use it on my snowplow to keep snow from sticking, and inside my snowblower too. 

A big advantage of ceramic coatings over Sc-1 is that after they are applied they dry and do not transfer onto other things. It is much more expensive than SC-1 or similar silicone sprays though. It will give a nice shine and slick hydrophobic coating. I think graphics coated with ceramic coating are slicker than graphics with SC-1. 

I feel like the dirt constantly blasting the surface will wear the coating off much faster than when its used on cars. Front plates and front fenders, tend to look sandblasted after a while. Its worth trying out if you already have some of the ceramic coating around.
