Go to this website and buy one of these, then you have no more issues with water spots or how fast you dry your bike. Wash it with filtered water and then rinse it with the same and blow dry and walk away. No more Spots!!!

Mothers Detailer and Clay Bar will remove the spots off the paint. Chrome Polish for the Chrome. 100% Cotton Diapers made in the USA are the best for drying the paint and they will not scratch the paint. If it is not made in the USA it is not 100% cotton, even if it says it is. Pakistan and India use a blend.

Stuff like this don't work for me. I have the Mr. Clean and it worked ok. But then I would see this one area that needed attention and when I wiped it, it streaked and I had to redo the entire bike. Also lemon pledge streaks my bike. []

Hey everyone. New to this forum. Been looking at it for weeks and thought I would join in. My ride is a 2006 Street Glide. Bought it new last Nov and got a great deal. Great bike, but not as fast as my sporty was. Anyway, I agree with Road Glider. I started using the Mr Clean kit on my sporty when it first came out, and continue to use it on my new ride. Works great. The only catch is to keep a eye on the filter and replace it before it's too late. Can you say hard water spots up the a**. Anyway, thats my two cents.

I use distilled water.Wet a soft cotton rag with the distilled water and wipe the area and then go over it with a microfiber cloth to dry. Never have water spots. Carry a small drink bottle (one with the sport drink top) of distilled water with me inthe saddlebag to wipe down the bike when I'm on the road.

ORIGINAL: Road Glider

Mr. Clean System works great...no water spots. Has special soap and water filter (Pur) and bike doesn't need hand drying.
I will go along with Mr. Clean. I have been using this for about three years now and I love it.

Another vote for the Mr. Cleankit from me. Been using it on my cars for over a year, used it twice on the scoot sinceI bought it. No spots, ever. The harder your water, the more often you have to change the filter. Suppose to be good for 10 washes, I get 4 or 5 out of one. Still worth it, I would rather spend 5 minutes rinsing than 30 minutes drying.

I use the Mr Clean filtered water, but I heard the soap strips off your wax so that the water sheets off instead of beads up. Do you guys use the Mr. Clean soap?? and does it strip the wax or not???

I have been considering ordering the filters from crspotless.com since all I do is use the filtered water anyway and thought in the long run it would be cheaper than buying the Mr Clean filters.
