If
If, bear in mind I'm a Kiwi and pretty basic by the term 'Strip wash', you mean power wash (water blaster) I've gotta say NEVER EVER do that to any motorcycle.... please.
Wash gently by hand, but even more importantly, every nook and cranney needs to be cleaned and I strip any used bike I get a hold of, and clean the chassis, replace all bearings, and CLEAN every thing to a high standard.
Then.. wax on, wax off. etc.
