I get it at the local Honda Shop ( only because it's closer to the house ), they put it on sale and I stock up.
They have a small can that I carry all the time in the bags. Also works on windshield as well.
I've been using this for years. Some of the best stuff out there. Aparently (some say) real close to Lemon Pledge, and I've seen S100 has come out with a spray can of "cleaner/polish".

A good soaking gets all of my perhistoric Florida critters off the bike.

Good luck.

Default Easy shine up

A water dampened cloth for areas that are really bug smacked such as windshield, fairing, front of bags, crash bars etc. After dampening these areas, wipe that crud off with a dry cloth and then very lightly spray anything on the MC, with the exception of tires with Pledge furniture polish. Buff out with cotton t-shirt or most any other soft cloth. Shines like a diamond in a goats...you know what.

I use it with cloth diapers. You need to use 2 towels, one to clean with and one for final polish or it will leave a little residue.
This saves me from washing the bike to maybe once a year.
Yep... this stuff is great! It gets the tough love bugs off easily too. Just maybe two sprays and two wipes and the Windshield, Chrome, and Paint are good.

Really great stuff. I bought a case of 12 on Ebay. Gave most of them to family and friends though...
