I read about this stuff here, from a forum member...bought a can and have been using it for a few weeks.
It really works great on the windscreen, and everywhere else I've applied it.
Don't put on seat or tires.
Beads the water up after a wash !
(got water in the cup covering the oil pressure switch connection, caused the oil light to register dimly - which should not have happened IMO considering where it is down there on the chassis - perhaps it's been gathering water there for weeks. Removed the cup and wire connector - dried & cleaned things with some fine sandpaper, added a little silicone grease to try to improve the cup seal & protect the connection. The light went out. I maintain that a clean & degreased engine runs cooler, and a clean scooter makes Mr. Honda smile.)

My Honda dealer pushes this stuff. You can use it anywhere. UV protection as well. Non-aerosol.

I was thinking to fog my PCX for winter. I used to use a good fogger on my rotax twin engines in my SeaDoo jet boat and to this date all the hoses and metal in the engine compartment look amazing. Has anyone ever thought to fog the hardware under the cowlings on scooters? Or for that matter just to preserve the new look year round?

Cleaning of the windscreen seems next to impossible on the inside. Given that there is hardly any room really impossible to get your hand and cloth down, what do people do to get it clean, if anything?

Not sure about the Honda but the Givi tall screen fixes that. You can stick your hand easily all of the way down the inside to clean.

Been looking for a magic cleaner to get all the crud off the engine area and wheels - the bikes get a hard life in countries such as the UK with dirty roads and winter.
I've seen people power-wash their PCX and it looked great after, but I thought that would be bad for it due to water getting into places it shouldn't. Do sprays like this get all the crud off of the engine area, or just help keep it clean if it's reasonably clean to start with?

I start the corner of a fluffy bath towel down there, grab the end when it comes out and give the screen a back and forth clean.

And the screen is very much happy for this.
