What kind of Wax do you use?

[unsub]

Just wondering what you guys think I should use as far as wax goes. Thank you for your input

OP I use the Honda cleaner and polish. In my opinion this is a snake oil business, like motor oil. So why not just go with what the manufacturer recommends.

1. It's inexpensive
2. Recommended by Mother Honda
3. It really goes a long way
4. It buffs up nice


tip: look for it at retailers that sell Honda landscaping power equipment (non motorcycle dealers) and save even more!

+1 and then some my friend!!..As I said I have had over 20 bikes and just as many cars over the years and nothing, in my humble opinion, works as good as Honda Spray Polish for the money....Never had any faded paint, peeling paint, or other issues ever!!...

Duckeys matte finish spray. Has anyone coughed up some dough and applied Flight Shield?

Upon yours and others' recommendations, I just purchased two cans on Amazon for $17. My ride is still dirty from the last time I rode in the rain. Can I use the Honda spray polish/cleaner directly on the dirty surfaces or do I need to wash it with soap and water first?

I thinks it's prudent to water rinse the surface first if it's heavier than dust. That eliminates some risk of heavy particles scratching the surface..that's my modus operandi. I also use it on the windshield.

Lemon pledge popped up in the discussion here and that's also a great product for our usage. I've heard it referred to as the detailer's secret. I started using the Honda cleaner when I noticed it was just marginally more per can than Pledge but a can of Honda goes a lot farther. ymmv

I have never used soap and water on any of my bikes in over 20 years..I suppose if the thing is filthy dirty from a lot of road grime maybe a quick rise would not hurt...I have gotten mine fairly dirty at times, and I just apply the Honda spray polish/cleaner, let it set for a few and then wipe clean with a micro fiber cloth/towel...Looks and shines like new!!!...Ride safe

I use Multisurface Pledge, shit finish on my black bike, when it gets bad enough I'll paint it or sell it.
