• There were many reasons for the change of the site software, the biggest was security. The age of the old software also meant no server updates for certain programs. There are many benefits to the new software, one of the biggest is the mobile functionality. Ill fix up some stuff in the coming days, we'll also try to get some of the old addons back or the data imported back into the site like the garage. To create a thread or to reply with a post is basically the same as it was in the prior software. The default style of the site is light colored, but i temporarily added a darker colored style, to change you can find a link at the bottom of the site.

Detailing the Spyder

I have a quick question regarding my Spyder RTL. What are folks using to polish or wax their Spyder. In the 90`s I used Honda polish for my Goldwing. Any suggestions would be greatly appreciated.
Thanks Russ

I have used the Honda wax on all three of my spyders. works excellent
 
Detailing Spyder

I use Glare Blast, camo- adaptive technology ,works on Gloss and flat paints. (Glare.com.) Works great on my spyder rt 14 gray
 
Use Turtle wax ice for waxing the spyder leaves no white residue. For a quick detail in between rides I use Lamonster Garage Black Diamond deatailer.
Black Diamond Detailer is the best thing I have used yet on the spyder.

Meguiars final inspection #34,use it like furniture polish.Spray it on and wipe off.Great also for removing bugs.You can use it on the windshield also.Always carry a small spray bottle with me.Leaves a shine and protection but it is not a wax and doesn't contain silicone like a lot of these detail sprays.
 
I think this is a question of personal choice. I ran a detailing business for many years and was a big fan of 3m products, but now I mainly use what I have on hand for my car. So many good products out there, find one you like and is easy to work with. Long as it makes leaves a good shine and protective coating! :thumbup::thumbup:
 
Here's what I use....

If really gritty, I wash it by hand with a good wash additive to the bucket of warm water.

The wash I use is Turtle Wax Rinse Free and Wax - it's a good once over, dry it, and looks great. I don't always follow it up with the spray wax.

The quick wax I use is Lucas Slick Mist Speed Wax....it seems the bugs come off a little easier when I utilize this as well...

There are a lot of choices out there, but after a couple years and 26,000 miles on our 2014 RT L , the bike still looks new. :D:D:D I also use the Honda Spray Cleaner & Polish - leaves a great shine!

Good luck with your Spyder and the choices you make to keep it clean! :thumbup:

I've used Protect All with carnauba wax to clean everything for many years. Works on any material and surface, including Plexiglas. It clears through the bugs in no time, and it cleans, polishes, and waxes with a single application. Does not leave a residue. I love the stuff. When I owned a plane, I used to buy it by the case.

Lamonster included a free bottle of his black diamond detailer when I bought my web pegs. I was very impressed right off the bat.:bowdown:

:agree: I really like the Lucas spray mist speed wax. Goes on and wipes off easily, and it smells good too.

I personally use ProtectAll for my Spyder and my Harley. After using so many others, ProtectAll has pleased me the most. I also use it on my classic cars as well as all of my vehicles. The best deal that I found was at my local Walmart for $9.47 per 16 oz. spray bottle.
 


Lemon Pledge-seriously-good for W/S and Spyder. Also removes bugs very well. It's cheap and it works as well as any of the other concoctions. Buy it anywhere.
