Red Rider Posted March 28, 2010 Share #1 Posted March 28, 2010 Does any one use that stuff. Talked to people that use it and they like it. I would think it would just rub the dust into the paint and scratch it. I like to use water and rince the bike off. I still use small amount of mild dish soap to wash my bike.

ffjoe Posted March 28, 2010 Share #2 Posted March 28, 2010 I use quick detailer spray. Great for smudges and such and light dust. With micro fiber cloth it leaves no lint. But yeah, if really dirty wash it. Car wash soap won't remove your wax the way dish soap does and still sheets the water off pretty well. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
KarlS Posted March 28, 2010 Share #3 Posted March 28, 2010 Works great with the micro fiber cloth just so the bike isn't to dirty. Just keep it off the wind screen. I keep the spray and wash in the bike always along with the Armor-All wipes. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
straycatt Posted March 28, 2010 Share #4 Posted March 28, 2010 I used to like the Honda spray cleaner/polish, not to clean a truly dirty scoot thats been in the rain but to detail a slightly dirty one in between cleaning jobs. The Honda juice is expensive, so now I use Lemon Pledge. It is the best quickie clean/polish I have ever seen. The key is to turn your cleaning rag often. I use old bath towels torn in half, and I wash them after every use. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
OutlawRider Posted March 28, 2010 Share #5 Posted March 28, 2010 I use the pledge and micro cloth on the wind screen. It repells rain and cleans well. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

traildawg626 Posted March 28, 2010 Share #10 Posted March 28, 2010 Keeping the bees away is a major feat once a bike as been painted pink, my RSV is a magnet for any small being with wings all through the blooming season. Can you recommend a non lemony version for "Miss Mercy" that works just as well as the lemon Pledge? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Can you recommend a non lemony version for "Miss Mercy" that works just as well as the lemon Pledge? Ive used the non lemon I think its unscented) version of pledge for a couple of years now, its Ive found it the simplest way to give the bike a great shine. I even do the pipes and windshield on mine. BTW Did you ever get that issue with Diamond gusset Jeans fixed up? Brian Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Midrsv Posted March 28, 2010 Share #12 Posted March 28, 2010 I won a couple of cans of Protectall spray at the Vogel meet last year and that stuff is far better than the Honda spray and others that I've tried. Wipes off easily and doesn't smear. Leaves a very slick finish. http://www.protectall.com/searchresult.aspx?CategoryID=2 Dennis Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Just spray a little on and keep wiping with a clean cloth and voila!. I didn't believe it until I tried it. They sell it at walmart. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Using dish detergent will strip any wax off that you have on the bike. Use a good car wash detergent.... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

An individual was at the international in Harrison last year. I ended up becoming a distributor. I really like for the bike and cars and my wife uses it on our Hardwood floors. If I never sell any I'm happy cause I bout a sh*t load that I know will get used. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mel Posted March 29, 2010 Share #16 Posted March 29, 2010 I've used Protectall for many years. It is not a product for heavy cleaning but for water spots, dust, etc. it works wonders. You can use it on painted surfaces, leather, plastic, virtually everything. Leaves a clean, smooth finish, brightens black plastic and rubber. It literally "protects all".

Red Rider Posted March 29, 2010 Author Share #17 Posted March 29, 2010 I'll have to try that Protectall. I'm going to wash and wax the bike this week. I'll get some car wash soap also. I know using the dish soap eats the wax and I should have gotten some last year. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Godlover Posted March 29, 2010 Share #18 Posted March 29, 2010 Eagle One has Nano Wax - and I use it after every ride unless the bike is really dirty. Good product but use the micro fibre cloth. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
thumper1 Posted March 29, 2010 Share #19 Posted March 29, 2010 i bought a product called the solution on line and have happy with it. consistancy of water, good on paint and glass, but not all that great on chrome. kinda expensive but it works well. ride safe and be cool, thumper1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
seabeetom Posted March 29, 2010 Share #20 Posted March 29, 2010 Have to agree with the Lemon Pledge & micro-fibre cloth. That's all I use, stem 2 stern. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
