That's weird....who knew?
I think they changed the formula in Meguiars because it leaves a film on my furniture.

I use Suzuki Spray Cleaner and Wax. It is supposed to be the old Honda formula. Usually I wash my bike with water/car wash soap, so I don't have to wax that often. This cleaner lasts a long time, I mainly use it on my windshield and fairing. Works good on FF faceshield too.

I am cheap, but not going to mess my bike up to save $5. I bought Mother's Spray Mist Detailer, but I don't think it cleans very well.

You can use the lemon Pledge wipes, they are the old formula. You may just use a bit more, but it is quick.

Original spirits spray polish is outstanding. It is the old Honda spray polish/cleaner just marketed by the original manufacturer.

I hate to admit it...LOL, but a buddy of mine turned me on to the honda polish and it does not cost much more than pledge AND IT DOES A GREAT JOB!! I had trouble keeping the brake dust and grime off my rocker aluminum wheels until a buddy polished them like new and I started using the honda polish, they are easy to clean and stay looking like new. Don't tell anybody that I am using a Honda product though...LOL.

Read my reply right above yours. Just buy it from the actual manufacturer original spirits.

Never thought of pledge. Smelling up my ride like lemons seems funny.

I've used the Honda polish and IMO it works no better than Pledge, and I pay only $10.88 for 3 large cans at Sam's club.
I don't recall the Honda stuff being that cheap.

Fortunately I bought some about a year ago and still have most of it left.
