Hi
Bought a bottle at the Seattle bike show in December and have put several coats on the bike since, Bugs do clean off quickly so it does do something, took the bike in to the Dealer to get a few parts repaired and they washed my bike with soap and water and I was amazed at the shine that the bike now has. so I think its a good quick cleaner but not great for shine.  At the Slack Alice Bike show last week the dealer was there trying to sell it using a grey roadking and I was shocked at how bad the bike looked.
Cheers
Mike

Oh boy, prolly the only one. But don't agree. I am not into cleaning and want stuff that's easy to use. My bike was a mess, and I washed it today at Ken's. Then I used that Honda chit for the first time. Man, that stuff just don't come off. You gotta rub and rub, and it still leaves a film. Not easy to work with. Need stuff that comes right off after application. What works well easily, without all that elbow grease and time, for a quick & easy cleaner/polish? :nixweiss:

HUH?  I knew I shoulda washed Cybil for you this weekend, Howie.  Then I could see this for myself.  I've never had any problems using Honda spray.  I spray the stuff on a clean microfiber, wipe it on the bike and gently wipe it down until it fades away, then go over it with a clean, dry microfiber.  Takes me about 15 minutes to wipe down my FD.  This is perplexing.   :nixweiss:  It goes on and comes off easy for me.

Henry, I felt terrible saying this since you gave me a can of the stuff. But I didn't do it the way you said. Maybe I screwed up. Worth another shot when I get home. :o ???

HeHe! Microfiber? :nixweiss: :nixweiss: :nixweiss:

I used a towel like I always do. Spray it on the towel? Nope. Sprayed it on the bike and tried to wipe it off! Two steps. Nope, only tried it in one! My bad! I'll try harder next time Henry! ;D ;D ;D ;D ;D

Damn Henry you've got your work cut out for you. Not only do you have to teach Howie to talk "southern" you have to teach him how to detail his scooter too. You are a good man w/a lot of patience. :2vrolijk_21: :huepfenlol2: :huepfenlol2:
