Honda Spray Cleaner and Polish



The best bike cleaner you will find. A religious coat on the windshiled and let sit for a minute will remove all the bugs and debris, its silicone based I believe and shies up a bike like nothing else, also if good for cleaning brake fluid from a painted surface if it should happen, unless using the new DOT5 which is silicon based it wont hurt the paint.

Re:Share a secret 4 Years ago  
I'm with Big-J on the wonder of Honda Polish.

Another thing that is often overlooked is having a "project tray," one of those little trays you can carry around that has all the compartments in it. When I have to take things apart or am working on something with lots of components, whether it's a bike or anything else, I can drop the various bolts, washers, connectors, nuts, spacers, pins, etc. into their own little places in the tray. Keeps from kicking stuff round or losing little pieces.

I found out that Simple Green works great on white walls & cast wheels. Just spray it on, scrub tires with a fingernail brush & rinse with water.

Simple Green works good to clean your engine too but don't let it dry on Custom wheels like mine after you clean the tire it will leave a brown stain in the wheels that have to be BUFFED out.

Rolite metal polish is the best stuff I've found for getting aluminum to a mirror finish. A little goes a long way too.

WD 40 will take enamel paint off your hands and it moisturizes them at the same time, unlike paint thinner that will dry them out. Fifty Yet
