I've used everything in the past, Pledge leaves streaks in the Dark paint (could not see them on my white Fatboy) tried something from a local guy in St. Louis (had to go to his place to buy) picked up Bugslide at the HD dealership the other day...........really like it a lot. No grease streaks and it looks like a waxed surface when you are done.

I use Optimum No Rinse in a spray bottle to clean with microfiber cloths. Been using it in the winter on my cars for years.

I use Wizard Mist n Shine. My HD dealer uses it on all the bikes on the showroom floor. Works Great.

Star brite Bike Guard - our staff chemists created it in-house and we blend it in our facility in Alabama (we make the bottles there, too). Many of the appearance items sold at bike shops are made by 3rd party fillers, so the guy selling it has no clue what is actually in the bottle.

Meguiars wash & wax really works pretty good with a couple of microfiber cloths about $12 a bottle enough to do your bike about 10 x's & no bees like pledge
