I can do my whole bike with the 303 and one microfiber cloth. The BugSlide does not work well once the cloth gets damp and I need to use 2 or 3 cloths with that stuff.
I tried the "honda" stuff once and gave the can to my brother-in-law for his Yamaha. He likes it, I hated it.
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.
So what are you using?
If you want your paint to look great get yourself some Nu Finish Scratch Doctor for $8, a tapered buff bob that fits onto a power drill, and polish your bike. If you have an orbital polisher, even better. Surface scratches, and scuff marks will disappear.
Then after you're done with that get some spray wax (I use Ice Spray Wax) and finish it off. I did both of my bikes last month and the paint looked and felt like glass. Took about 30 minutes for each bike.
You will never get the same results polishing by hand, unless you have Hulk-like strength and Flash-like speed. lol

When I see comments made that are totally wrong I have to say something.
NuFinish would be #150 on the top 100 list of detailing products.
NO!! Just NO!
NuFinish is absolute junk. I wouldn't waste $2 on it let alone $8.
And then the Buff Bob?? WTF!
I am shocked, SHOCKED to have read through page 5 of this thread and no one has mentioned S100 Quick Detailer. I know for a fact it works better than Original because I use both all the time.
But can anyone point me to a laced chrome wheel quick cleaner that used to come in three bottles for successive rinses, but I cannot find it or remember the name?

Providing some information proving it's junk instead of just saying it's junk would be more helpful and give what you say more credibility. A wool buff bob works better at removing surface scratches than foam. Foam is better for shine. I've been doing it this way on my bikes for years and my paint looks great.
