Are you kidding?? Watching you and Ken patiently wait with Mav after our sweetly planned ride bit the dust to back him up and help in anyway?? Ya'll are heroes in my book!! That's what CVO family is all about! *hugs the heroes*

   Well..........I ain't no hero neither, but where I come from...............you NEVER leave a fallen comrade.  Besides, we had a blast just the same, and we even had easy drinkin' Busch Light...........courtesy of the Hogbreath's.  Thanks!

I'm a dealer for Original Bike Spirits (formally Amrep) which is the company that now distributes Spray Polish & Cleaner.  If you guys are interested I'll be glad to sell product to members at a discount, well below the prices in the above post.  Case prices would be $52.20 for 14oz cans and $46.20 for 5oz cans.  The 5oz size is just the right size to pack on your bike! 

Should I start a thread in the Vendor Discounts section?

Tommy,

Is that just a re-labeled Next Generation Product or some different formulation?

Does anyone just use Windex for a quick wipe down?  Seem to work well  on paint and chrome.  Leaves surface clean and without streaks!!  I know it is  not a polish but is there something wrong with Windex?  I like the Honda Cleaner but use the Windex more often.

I'd be careful with Windex. It has ammonia. I've had Windex discolor and mess up plastics.

I think the same Radar.  Plus I would think it would strip off what ever polish/wax that was on there already.  I guess I am about the only one who uses Zaino around here?

The ammonia free Windex Wipes (Wally World) are fine.  Ammonia free Windex is fine.

I use Windex on chrome with excellent results (wheels, exhaust, etc.), but I've never used it on the paint.  For a quick wipe down of the paint, I just use a wet (water) cloth followed by a dry cloth.  To remove bugs, I leave a wet cloth on the surface for 10 minutes to soften the little buggers and then do the wet cloth/dry cloth routine.  If the surface has a decent wax coating, you really don't need to break out the heavy duty cleaners.  In my humble and cheap opinion, if the vehicle is too dirty for this simple method, then it needs a full washing and not just a spritz bottle.  Oh, and after a full wash I still use a rag with Windex to wipe the chrome exhaust and wheels to remove any water spots.  Leaves a very nice streak and spot free finish.

BTW, I'm still waiting for one of you guys to invent an automatic bike wash.  I've tried to get momma to ride mine through the local Drive & Shine for me, but so far she isn't cooperating.

I don't know if its available everywhere but we use ProtectAll in SoCal. Most of the Harley dealers carry it and its good on eveything. Doc

Agreed on using water on bugs & your observations on wax.  Use Windex on chrome & as you described, it works great. Not good for paint.

I used to use the wet towel method on bugs - now I spray them down (if bad a couple of times), let it sit & soak, and then use a wet microfiber towel followed by a dry one.  Buggy here all the time it seems so it's the quickest & easiest way I have found to deal with it since spraying can be done wherever the bugs are & the wet towel could only cover so much.


If you ever get momma to ride through that local Drive & Shine on your bike Please!!!!....

You can get ProtectAll at any RV dealership on the East Coast.  I've got it for my fifth wheel.  I never tried it on the bike though...good to know that I can use that on the scoot too.
