I have long used Honda's spray and shine. However have often wondered what others use to take care of the look of thier bikes.

I doubt it, as I heard he only uses his own spit, and a lightly used diaper.

Hey Shewie,

Which kind of Turtle are you using. I have been thinking of trying that new Ice stuff from Turtle.

Poundstretcher · 06-29-2009, 2:13 AM

The new Ice is good does the black plastics as well

PJNXX · 06-29-2009, 7:53 AM

The same old green stuff that your grandfather used on his 49 Merc. It's cheap, shines well and lasts. It takes a bit of elbow grease to buff off, but the bird doesn't have quite as much paint to wax as a 49 Merc.

I haven't bothered trying that Ice because I still have the bottle I inherited from my father.

FW1 "cleaning system" with carnuba wax.

dracki · 06-30-2009, 6:56 AM

,ever wondered why the bikes in the show room look so good

,just don't put it on any magnesium parts,it dulls them abit

CanadianBird · 06-30-2009, 7:20 AM

I thought "Sex Wax" was for surf/ski/snow boards?

mrcbr · 06-30-2009, 7:40 AM

mothers carnuba wax and mothers seal and glaze.

sv61 · 06-30-2009, 11:14 AM

Honda Spray polish to keep it shiny in between waxes. Then, for wax, the Meguiars Tech wax. That is the best stuff for the money, that I have seen.

We have to find you a girl. She will be very happy.

Power wash the bug guts off once a year. Chain wax twice a year. Honda Polish three times a year.

PS: I ride about 5K to 7K miles per year.
