Cleaning / polishing

Post by jjamison »

I was wondering what everyone's favorites are for cleaning and polishing your rides. I've heard Plexus is good as well as Topcoat F11.
Thanks,
Jeff

Plexus for the windshield and indicator cluster plastic. Honda Spray polish for the rest of the bike. Sometimes a little chrome polish for the chrome. I never use soap and water or a hose.

S100 for all those areas that are turning black but you want back black again. Works on the vinyl seats, they aren't leather. If anyone tries that F11 formula and likes it please post. A lot of us are anxious to see how it works but are skeptical about spending $65 for it.
