Except on the seat... just soapy water...no desire to have a slick seat.

On matt finishes on cars and other bikes, they recommend dish washing detergent. It cleans well and doesn't cause the matt surface to become shiny. Not for the seat, however.

Yeah..won't do the seat...I remember years ago a friend had leather seats in her car...she armor all'd them...
That was before seat belt laws...she luckily was not hurt but she never did that again!

Here's what I use..!!

Plexus but expensive. Bike shops have a series of plastic parts cleaners and protectors. Most spray on and microfiber wipe off. This works the best no residues streaks etc...:thumbup:

For matte finished products I've used Cerakote. It's a one time application and lasts for years, simply wash and dry w the rest of the bike.

Hardest part is taping of the paint finish so not to get the coating on it. But...it is expensive.

Ive also used back to black in the past, it lasts through a few washings and weathers well.

I clean with water and car wash soap or Windex Multi-Purpose with Vinegar (never regular Windex with ammonia!). I polish or deep clean with Turtle Wax Ice Detailer. It works nicely on the matt black plastic. Use a good vinyl cleaner like Tuff-Stuff on the seat.

I've used a spray cleaner/polish made by The Motor Company for about the last 8 years. Works great. I usually buy it by the case and pass out a few cans to my biker buddies.

So many choices!

Thanks! I will try some of these and see what I like. Have a 9-11 run this weekend. Want my arachnid to stand out in all those 2wheelers!!!

I use Mequiar's Ultimate Protectant spray.
Was not impressed with Mothers BTB.

For the paint, black plastic and carbon black painted items, Turtle Wax Ice polish is a great product. For the seat and other vinyl / rubber parts 303 Aerospace Protectant. Have used both for years and they perform well.

I use Plexus on the plastics (windshield, hood, black plastics) and 303 Protectant on the rubber and vinyl. The 303 provides UV protection, crazy good stuff. You can use one of many spray waxes on the hood and body panels, but for the windshield Plexus is the one and only. Use microfiber or soft towel, NEVER paper products. Plexus is also very good for the black plastics, and it is the single best thing on the planet for face shields and goggles. Rain sheets right off. But it is expensive.......
