Turtle Wax makes some pretty decent stuff...
Personally; I just use the same stuff that the Missus' MINI gets; plain-old car wash soap that's sold everywhere! :thumbup:
McGuiar's Quick Detailer for wipe-downs...
No wax; I don't want to monkey-up my vinyl graphics with it! :shocked:


Oh!! I almost forgot... :welcome:

original bike spirits

Cycle Care makes some excellent cleaning products. Have tried other over the years and keep going back to Cycle Care. www.cyclecare.com

I use Nu Finish paste wax (Rated #1 by Consumer Reports) in the beginning of the season. It's safe for all paints and plastics. Then for cleaning and touch up I use Plexus.

Honda polish.

Pig Snot (NO kidding!) is a great wax that I used to use on all of my bikes! :2thumbs:

most detail sprays will work well... honda makes a really good spray simply called honda spray..it may cost a little more but it goes a long way and it lasts a long while..it also works well on windshields and leather....if you have paint applied pin stripping then you need a detail spray that does not have a petroleum base..as petroleum breaks down the paint used in pin stripping and will dull it..as for my windshield i also use lemon pledge and it helps with the bugs and is easy to apply..all so when you get caught in the rain, the drops off of the windshield have a pleasant lemony taste...lolol

Lemon Pledge; Old Standby! :thumbup:
The older versions of it seemed to attract dust, but no so much anymore...
(Or have my eyes gotten worse? :shocked

"Original Spray Cleaner & Polish" ... AKA Honda Wax.

Good day.

I have found "ORIGINAL SPRAY CLEANER & POLISH" (formerly Honda Cleaner & Polish) in the black, pink and white can, as mentioned in some of these replies, to be the best product for protecting plastic, painted and metal surfaces. After a quick wash, it's easy to apply and remove, and requires very little buffing. Takes the bugs off without scrubbing.
I've used it for years ..... even used to use it on my Alfa Romeo, back in "the day"..
HOWEVER, I DO NOT use it on the windscreen, I prefer PLEXUS for that.

And, remember ... Keep the shiney side UP!

Everyone has his or her favorite. I like the Turtle Wax Ice products, because they leave no white residue. Be aware that while the colored parts are plastic, they are painted, so they can take any automotive polish. The textured black parts and the clear parts are plain plastic, so I would not recommend any wax that leaves a residue. Plain cleaners work better there. Plexus is an outstanding one, I just use Windex Multi-Surface with vinegar. Don't use regular Windex or anything else with ammonia...it will cloud the plastic.

Plexus does it all. i have never put a hose on my spyder. :dontknow:

Living in the area of bugs, birds and road tar, I always use synthetic wax on all of my vehicles. My current favorite is Eagle 1 nano wax. Fast, easy and seems to last as long and anything. Also leaves a finish that cleans up easily after a dirty ride.

 

[serf]

I use Lucas slick mist. Seems to make my spyders shine last a lot longer.

Original Bike Spirits on everything but the windshield. Plexus on that. And I carry a small can of Plexus with me in the trunk because it works on visors too.

I use nu finish also. Used to use 3m products when I ran my auto detailing business. But now that I only do my own I use something that is easy to work with and gives a nice shine!

If you want one of these.....................









USE THIS !!!!!!!!!!!!

 

[rc51ny]

Lemon Pledge all the way! i use it on all by bikes and it works GREAT! I do use Plexus on the windshields and on my helmet shields!
