End of winter is right around the corner and I was just curious what type of bike cleaning products everyone uses.

 

I was a big fan of Hond Pro spray polish and cleaner until I used Plexus. That is my new favorite! It works great on the helmet and visor too!

 

Honda cleaner generally for cleanup. Liquid glass for wax, shines nice and not slippery like wax.

 

Honda polish for me I've tried the Plexus before and it's great if the bike is already clean, but it just doesn't seem to clean the bugs and whatever else off like the Honda polish does. As for wax....hmmm I dunno I haven't waxed my bike in about 2 years, lol. She still shines though and the paint is smooth as glass.... Honda polish only for washes

 

Thx so honda wax.What about like soap and water? like meguires or if i just put my hose on it with a bucket of soap and then dry it?

 

I use any ol carwash soap, and i try to dry is the best i can. If you do get some water spots ( yea they come off hard) use some white vinegar, takes em right off

 

I like turtle wax soap or the soap that comes with the Mr Clean tool.


Wax, I use Dupont Teflon wax (paste).

 

i usehonda polish/cleanerthen wash it with basic car wash about twice a year
i use a spray nozzle on our air compressor to dry

 

If I bucket-wash my bike, I usually use Maguire's(sp?) Gold Class liquid car wash, or just Palmolive Dish Soap. The Dish soap usually gets all the grime and waxes off, and leaves me a clean slate so I can wipe down the bike with Honda Polish. But usuallly (around here anyway) the bike just gets dusty. So I dust off the bike with a california duster, then honda polish the bike.

 

OK thx guys for the info much appreciated
