I neglected to say that I have a cupboard full of polishes and sprays here. After trying about 40 different ones my conclusion see that a clean bike and a wipe down with any one of them and it looks about the same. I do however like to hit all my chrome with the Master Formula polish and then their sealer a few times a year and that really gets it blinging. I got this stuff at the MC show a few years back and the results are really impressive.

HONDA spray cleaner/wax is awesome. Been using it for years.
Been using Lemon Pledge more and more lately simply because it's always around the house. Works very well, but I prefer the honda spray whenever I can pick it up.

I've used Nevr-Dull on chrome parts for years now (blinged out sand rail) and naturally used it on my Harley. Then I tried lemon pledge, worked great on EVERYTHING except the top of the seat of course! Ran out of it and decided to try the orange stuff. Works just as good and doesnt seem to attract quite as much dust! Takes bug guts off if you rub it around lightly and let it sit for a min or so.

So yeah, the orange stuff works great. Kicks *** on wrinkle coat too!
