I prefer the Honda spray.
Used it on 3 scoots and a CB500X.
Like the results, wet and dry riding.

Have you tried the Turtle Wax product homie recommends?

homie: Where do you get it?

Been out for quite a while, good news is it's everywhere in the US. Menards, O'reilly's right off hand. After you spay on cotton, wipe down a section and then flip to the dry side, wipe until you feel it turn to glass... very satisfying stuff. Clear, no residue, little effort, excellent finish.

I've used their F21 products. . .the tire foam is great (on 4-wheelers). Just follow the instructions. Have also used their car wax with great results on my 22 year old Honda Civic EX. It's still Fast and Furious.

I was just looking at the bottle markings. Honda's is marketed as a cleaner too. So it's an all-in-one product, vs. the Turtle Wax one which is just advertised as wax.

Left that video's first 'Like'. Gotta view it on YouTube to do so.

Yes, its the cleaner part that's probably slowing the polishing part. Hey I try stuff and stick with it then pick up my old stand by's and WOW there it is! Proof is in the pudding. The AH HA moment that reminds you why you liked a certain product. I think the windscreen and the dash area really test some products, PLUS glass on the mirrors is no problem for the ICE wax. Basically I would dump the entire bike in a vat of this stuff if I could.

Thinking about this more, I think for the intended consumers of the Honda Spray Cleaner and Polish, they are not comparable products.

The Turtle Wax is a better polish/wax, as you confirmed, but it doesn't clean. A conventional car wash fluid or dish soap solution is no doubt a better cleaner too.

The Honda Spray Cleaner and Polish though, is an all-in-one, one-step product. In short, it's a good product lazy people, like a drive through car wash or something. Not the best results, but the best convenience. I'd like to see someone else come up with a true competing product.

Sure someone (you) can buy a cleaner/polish to compare But i wasn't comparing these two to each other. This was a just a follow up from before you membered concerning Honda spray cleaner.

Sometimes members wonder or mention products or equipment and I will just buy it and do an honest review at some time in the future. So honestly, the Pro Honda Spray Cleaner is more work to buff out than I am used to or want to do. It leaves a residue if you don't keep buffing, but this extra effort IMO is the result of mixing cleaner with polish.

You certainly can get both jobs done in one product with Honda Pro Cleaner/Polish. Here you go... about 10.00 a can after shipping

All these sprays are eclipsed by a true polymer sealant, lasts twice as long, better gloss. That's Not opinion, that's fact:

There are many products out there today all saying "they're" the one - Marry me!
Member JGE64 (Glen) knows a lot about cleaning, polishing/waxing, sealants, one steps, etc.
maybe he'll pop in and tell us again....what he recommends.

On hand I have used these recommended products and I am happy with All of them. No I am NOT easily pleased. I "use to" work hard at the shine, not so today. Easy on, easy off w/shine, is the new game in WNcity

Seriously, just wipe on a true sealant, dirt just falls off and gloss remains. Sprays are good for quick touch up, but due to heat and the ingredients to make it spray, they are fairly short term. Our paint is standard makeup, just wipe all the paint with a 50/50 wipe of alcohol/water, then wipe on the sealant. Tremendous gloss for 6 months. Do your helmet and windscreen too!

2 good ones I linked to above.

Plexus is pretty special, made for plexiglas, a cleaner and protectant.

Thanks Glen

I guess this will work for us really lazy people!! LOL!!!
