ProtectAll is great, that's all I use.
I buy the gallon from my HD for about $55 and refill my pump sprayer.

Is that a Black Pearl SG you're using Pledge on? I tried it on mine and I got was streaks

This is the best thing I have ever found for a quick detailer.

I have to second the Honda polish. Back in my sportbike days it was the absolute best. It didn't matter what kind of bike my friends had, they all went to the Honda dealer for that polish. It works on everything from paint to chrome to texured powder coat.

That is a true story.

S100 has some great products but I would not use the washing product. It is too caustic.

Can you be more specific with a name for the Honda stuff? I realize nothing will replace a good wash & wax but for those in betweens I'm hooked! I'll honestly give pledge another try, my last bike was vivid black so maybe that's why I didn't care for pledge...

I just keep buckets of water in my garage (1 with suds, 2 clean water) that I change out about every week... After a ride, quick hit it and wipe it dry.....I wonder if I'm doing something wrong, but it seems to work great.
