My Harley Dealer now carries that same cleaner/polish Honda has. The last time I went to Honda to buy it, it has a new label. They took the Honda name off it. The Harley Dealers now have it. The stuff works great. You can use it on lastic, paint and chrome.

You're not alone, Dave. I've been using the Honda spray polish for a decade or so. I use it on bikes, cars, trucks, drums, pretty much anything painted that needs to shine.

In the light aviation community, Lemon Pledge is the primo number 1 windscreen/canopy cleaner by a mile. Everyone uses it and has done for at least 20 years that I know of. I even buy up large cans of the stuff from Costco when I go back to the States just to use it on my canopy. It's a staple in the airplane care toolbox so I don't see any reason it couldn't be used on motorcycles. It's great at getting dead bugs off, polishes plexiglass brilliantly, and leaves a coat of wax for beading up rainwater. Funnily enough, the citrus flavor doesn't work as well. There's some different chemical in it that leaves a greasy film on stuff, so that's not used.
Just another country heard from, so to speak.

Hit the bug guts with a good direct spray first of all. Clean the rest of the windshield and then come back to that spot. The bug guts will mostly come off with the first wipe. If a little is left hit it with the LP one more time. It never takes more that that for me, but I clean every evening at the end of the ride. .......... BC

Pitts: In my experience, it is the Lemon that works much better at cutting the bug stuff and other foreign glazes from the plexiglas than the standard Pledge. I tried a month of use of the standard Pledge on my Cessna 180 windshield. After that month, I could tell that the lemon version worked better and with less effort. Perhaps your results were different.
