I bought a 2015 CVO Street Glide and I took it out a few time, but the temps are gonna dip again and rain for a couple of days, so I started putting paint protectant on.  I've got that down to a science, but I'm not sure what to do about the material on the lowers?  I have Adams Polishes VRT and it is a great product that doesn't shine up like Armour All and it has UV protection as well. MVRT stands for Vinyl, Rubber and Trim....I don't want to try it until I get some feed back. If there is anything else that is recommended, please feel fro to let me know.

thanks in advance!

On my '15 RGU, either Protectall or Lemon Pledge. Both have worked well.  I think the Adams would be fine.

The Adam's VRT worked amazingly....not real shiney, it makes it look perfect.  It works awesome on the inside black plastic too.

I've tried WD-40 (sprayed a little on a rag & rubbed it on) and Turtle Wax Ultra Wet Tire Shine. So far I like the Turtle Wax, smells better plus it says "Ultra" so that means it must be made for my bike, lol.

Another thumbs up for the Lemon Pledge.  I carry a small can with me on all trips.  I've used it for years...dang stuff can be used on everything.  Cleans/protects and shines....gotta use the aerosol version.  Pump bottle doesn't work as well.

Lemon Pledge - I have used on car tires in the past but didn't think about it for this.  Where else do you use it?  Does it hold up well in the sun?

Yes.  Seat,  back side of side covers, wiring, etc. inside side covers,  under seat.  Pretty much everything except paint, engine, windshield and chrome. 

I learned about Lemon Pledge at the Porsche concourses years ago.  They use it on damn near everything.

The VRT from Adams has a UV protectant....you apply it, then buff it off for a very slight gloss.

Does it make the seat slippery? I am going to have to give this a try.  Thanks for sharing.

Actually Greg, it works great on the paint, too. Shops use it for the floor stock instead of the more expensive stuff they sell (plexus and such)  and that's why the lemon Pledge is my go to cleaner on the road for paint, chrome etc

Not slippery.  I use it on the entire car interior, including the seats. It leaves just the right amount of shine.

Plexus is terrific for plastic but it has nearly tripled in price over the last few years.  I still use it for our plastic windshields, though.
