I am a new Harley CVO owner and looking for the best cleaner or cleaners for my bike.  I am very anal and want to keep my bike clean and shiny.

Any suggestions or recommendations?

Thank You,

S100 products, Cycle spray and chrome soap. Glare products for polish.

[Smiler]

The S100 products are certainly quick to use but a mate of mine didn't wash off, I think it was the cleaner, properly and apparently stained his chrome.
I prefer the Harley stuff (Yes, I am unfortunately brainwashed into thinking the MoCo is the be all and end all) - does a reasonable job, takes longer but I actually enjoy the cleaning and polishing, I find it theraputic (On my bike only guys-sorry)

[SOKOOLJ]

The S100 works fine for me as well, but the daily wipe down cuts out a few full washes per month. The HONEY-DO's are enough to keep me busy at times, don't need to be cleaning the scoot instead of ridin.

the best cleaner i have found is FW1 from rgs labs it removes tar, grime, bugs, just about everything and leaves the bike looking great.

[Puzzled]

I use a product called 210. It is a plastic/metal cleaner. I picked it up for my windshield and started using it on my fairing and saddle bags. Now I clean the entire bike with it. It is a simple white label aerosol can that I came across in Daytona in 01 and I've been using it since

Is it like the S100, just spray it on and rinse off?

[Puzzled]

It is a polish of sorts. You wipe it off. It wouldn't be good for the motor like S100. However it is excellent for the windshield.

   My Brother-in-law uses Pledge furniture Polish - he used it on his Goldwing aand when he swopped for the Heritage Softail he kept right on using it.....I expressed my doubts but so far so good....reminds me of the bloke who jumped off the block of flats - every floor he passed he thought so far so good!!

LOL!!! It's one thing to help a new CVO owner spend his money, but what you're suggesting might just be suicide.

It's always best to start out RIGHT !!!  Oh $#!t, here comes the wife...gotta run!!!

The best polish out there is Glare.  I purchase Glare Polish, Glare Quick Shine, Glare Leather.  They are great products.  The Glare Quick shine is not as quick to use as the Harley spray or S-100.  But for new bikes and old bikes with Scratches Glare products are great.

The products are not cheap but good things do not always come cheap.

When you call Glare tell them you are a member of this site and he will give you 10% off.

The number or web site is in previous subject titles.

You should first start with a visit to the Fired00d School of Harley-Davidson Detailing and OCD...

Tony,
Shhhhh, don't tell anybody but when you saw the bike it hadn't been washed in a couple weeks. You should see it after I detail it.
