I use what use to be call honda pro shine----I think it is now pro shine. I never wipe down my bike with a dry cloth when it is dusty or dirty. Some of the detailers work well on a clean bike to remove streaks.

I've used several brands of detailing sprays between full waxings.

lucas, and Honda sprays are pretty good.

It has to be Lemon Pledge, not the stuff in the blue can.

Speaking about Pledge, I found another use for it.....cleaning ash trays.

I use something called REJEX. You get it at the Honda dealer. Wash your bike with a good soap then apply REJEX according to their directions (easy as heck). Then wipe the bike down with a damp cloth when it's dirty. Reapply once a year.

Nothing to it.
