R1Limited Posted May 31, 2008 Report Share Posted May 31, 2008 What do you guys use to clean your plastics???I've used Plexus for a while now- but 13 bucks a can (at the pony) is getting retarded. I tried some of the cheaper stuff and its obvious why its cheaper. Has anyone found something cheap that works well? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Came in a blue bottle Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dweezel Posted May 31, 2008 Report Share Posted May 31, 2008 Polish, is that some sort of cut on me because I'm Polish? If you don't like the way I do shit the just keep it to your self, no need to crack on my nationality just because I don't use the fancy stuff.I'm kiddin BTW I just use a spray detailer on my bike and it looks great, maybe try that.

McLovin Posted May 31, 2008 Report Share Posted May 31, 2008 I use quarters at the car wash...the key tool is the power wash and then a bunch of other random goodness that will have your bike squeaky clean and smelling like bubble gum! ....oh yeah, no need for that big ass brush.

Dweezel Posted May 31, 2008 Report Share Posted May 31, 2008 Guess what this is...http://www.originalbikespirits.com/prod_sprcleanpol.aspxIsn't that just Honda cleaner? Won't that slow my bike down? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
R1Limited Posted May 31, 2008 Author Report Share Posted May 31, 2008 Usually I blast it with the pressure washer and dry with a leaf blower. Once its dry I attack it with plexus for the plastics and honda cleaner and polish on the metal parts. I hate cleaning rims. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
fusion Posted May 31, 2008 Report Share Posted May 31, 2008 Honda was THE best polish you could use on your bike until the EPA made them stop making it. The manufacturer and Honda couldn't come to an agreement so it was never reformulated with Honda. This however is the EPA approved version of Honda polish AFAIK.

NinjaNick Posted May 31, 2008 Report Share Posted May 31, 2008 I actually just washed my bike.I fill a bucket up with just warm water and use a wash cloth. I wipe all the bugs off and dirt. Next I spray HONDA POLISH all over it while wiping.I NEVER spray water on my bike and nothing EVER gets wet on my bike but the frame,plastics, and wheels from when I wipe with my 2 designated wash cloths in the garage. I use old tshirts to buff the polish on my bike too. There's no secret to washing, just don't use a hose or any sort of pressure washer. *This has been a paid public announcement from your fellow neighborhood NinjaNick.* Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

gsxrnurse Posted May 31, 2008 Report Share Posted May 31, 2008 Pledge furniture polish. No, seriously. It works especially well on chain grease that gets on your wheels. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NinjaNick Posted June 1, 2008 Report Share Posted June 1, 2008 I use pledge for my leathers. WD-40 also shines wheels up like no other. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
