Default Cleaning Products

Im just curious what everyone uses for cleaning their bike. I have looked at the Harley products but am just curious if anyone has found anything better!

I have the Harley Denim paint so for a full wash I use Joy dish soap and for quick wipe down I use ammonia free Windex. Just ordered Pig Spit for engine detailing to bring the black back out.

For a regular 2 bucket wash:
Quality soap. I don't use any that has "Wax" in it.
Wheels - Sonax Full Effect
Dry - Electric leaf blower and Dry Me Crazy drying towel

Most of the time I use Optimum No Rinse to wash the bike and my truck. Super easy and so much faster. If you have never tried a no rinse wash you need to check it out.

S100 on the underside of the engine trans
magic eraser on the white walls
Simichrome
Meguiars Gold Class car soap

In between washings I think it's hard to beat Honda Spray Cleaner.

I've used everything from toothbrushes to the Mothers polishing ball, cut of t-shirts, qtips and what nots to do the actual cleaning.

I've had good luck with S100 to wash the bike and motor. Turtle Wax Ice spray wax, and Mother's chrome polish.
