Default RE: Cleaning the bike...what to use?

Where can you find Plexus? I looked them up and you can order from them, but can only get six packs or more. They dont list any places to buy from. I think I will try the Honda stuff, but in case I cant get it I will try the Plexus. And, just as soon as the bike is clean I will post pics of what I've done so far.

Thanks everyone!

Most Motorcycle shops carry it.

Bucket, sponge, auto shampoo.
Turtle wax, and high gloss. And elbow grease. Not only looks good, leaves a decent protective layer on the paint which stops it fading, and easier to wash off the **** next time round.

Believe it or not... I've heard of some people using Pledge and swear it's the way to go. I have not tried this. But, I may give it a shot.

I use windex or some glass cleaner(which is the same thing as windex) and it works wonders, Sometimes I'll get a wet paper towel and wipe down the whole bike then use a dry one to dry it down.

+1 for Plexus, After you wash it with Plexus get some wax and wax the bike! Warning: you may slip off the bike, but it looks very sexy.

Oh yeah, I almost forgot. If you really want your baby to shine, use the Maguire's 3-step Wax treatment..........followed by #7 polish. It takes a few hours of tough elbow grease...........and DAMN did it make my previous 06 SHINE! (Have yet to do it to my 07)
