Looking to find the best reasonably priced quick retailed. I have seen some people swear by the new Topcoat product but I have a hard time paying $60 for a spray bottle of the stuff. I also want something that might last a little while on the bike unlike pledge lol.
Like an oil thread, everyone will tell you what they use is the best.
With that being said, I just tried the Griots 5 minute detailer. $14 for a larger size bottle. Worked well for me. Got the bugs off relatively easy. Just have to make sure you get it off before it dries according to the label. I didn't test those instructions.
I usually just use wax but when I want something different and takes less time, I've been using Lucas Slick Mist. I've used it on paint and also on chrome and it seems to do the job.
Try Purple Slice. Best detailer Ive found period. The guy selling it at the local car swap meet was using it in the hot sun and it does not leave a film or streak and he even used it to clean your glasses without any residue. Sold at the website, and most the So Calif Harley dealers carry it too. Best deal in online at the PurpleSlice website, $60/gallon. I even sprayed it on the bottom of the girl in my signature photo! Works wonders on her!

I've used a bunch over the last 20 or so years. From the scantilly clad gal selling stuff at racing events, to the simple store-bought. I just keep coming back to Mothers quick detailer. It works and is easy to get.
Topcoat.......no way I'd pay $60. It might be really good, but for all I've tried, not one stands above the rest, and I doubt this stuff is THAT much better.
