Honda spray polish

[f6john]

I really like the stuff. Started using it soon after I got my Valkyrie. Many years ago my local dealer told be that it had been discontinued but he did offer some Suzuki stuff that wasn’t bad. The last I bought from my old dealer was charging close to $10.00 a can. I was in my local dealer today to get something and they had the Honda branded spray polish on the shelf for $5.99.

In actuality it may have been available all these years and my old dealer just got a better deal from Suzuki, who knows? At any rate I was pleased to find it once again.

I like the stuff too. $5.99 is a good price. I've bought it and "original bike spirits" on line (flea-bay) I can't tell the difference. Haven't tried the Suzuki stuff.

I think this is new(er).

The newer ceramic detailers are very nice (on a clean bike the shine is amazing).

Good grief.  Now I have to go outside (tomorrow) and see what's in the cabinet.  My bet was it would be  "original bike spirits"  but I have also used the product Jess mentioned in the past also. 

I like what I am using.  Does the job.   

I also use Plexus for the windscreen.  Expensive but works well.    Usually buy three cans if I can find them at a reduced price.

Lemon Pledge for the windshield and Turtle Wax spray for the plastic.

My experience is, it's more important to use clean microfiber cloths than the cleaner spray you use. 

My 22yo bikes still shine up pretty good, but they are showing age and wear.  So I try to avoid new scratches and swirls.

John,
You'll have to prove this to me.   I'm a skeptic.   Tell ya what, bring your bottle and your cloth rag and prove it on my bike and we'll go from there.

Wipe the screen vertically only, with freshly washed microfiber cloth.  Horizontally will put scratches that show up in a setting sun.  I use a large orifice airgun to blow dust off first - actually on the whole bike.  I also buy the Honda polish by the case.

This airgun at Harbor Freight:

Time for upgrades guys,

Ceramics is the newest and best in care for your cars, bikes, and anything you want to have a long lasting finish that is completely water repellent. These deliver on what wax always promised and they do it well.

 These products are not the Turtle wax type of ceramics that are just a bit better than wax, but professional products that you can actually build the coating on the surface and get a deep long lasting shine. The spray is the get your feet wet product. I tried that first and was impressed with the performance. Water literally runs off anything its applied to for months. Easy on and off, cleans a bit while its going on and dirt, rain, dust does not stick to it. In fact if you go through the rain your bike comes out looking like it was washed.

The stuff in the smaller bottle is a more concentrated version that does actually build on the surface for an awesome shine. On a decent surface it will look better than new. The surface has to be prepared before this is put on, but once its on it make caring for you bike or car much easier and when you wash your bike the water beads off and can be blown off.

Bugs can be taken off the surface fairly easily without any paint damage and with a few coats helps to stop rock damage on the front. I have applied it to my windshields or windscreens without a problem. It gives the whole car or bike that just rainexed type of ability to shed water, and also imparts a deep long lasting shine.

The bottle is small but I can get about 2 coats on my car with it or about 1 and 1/2 on a car that is not done.

Since it does have a build ability to it and repels water it stops corrosion, discoloration, and damage from the elements on aluminum and paint or what ever its applied to.

When you wash all it takes is a rag and some water in most cases.

Professional ceramic wax applied for you is in the 2 to 4 k range and lasts. This stuff is not only much cheaper but easier and not as problematic to apply.

If you have always wanted that better than just waxed shine to last, this is finally it.

If you have glass shower doors and dont want spotting its the best also.

Lucas Slickmist for 15 yrs. now on both paint and windshield and very reasonably priced nowadays. Lemon Pledge isn't very "clear" looking in comparison & draws bee's   but...

Ive been using Honda Spray wax for a very long time.   Use it on cars, 4 wheelers, boat, and anything else I want to shine.   It wirks great but not as thick (?) or hard(?)a coat as paste wax….but a WHOLE lot easier to spray and wipe.  Great stuff!

[Patrick]

These spray polish/cleaners are good. I think the name of the original I used was S100, but, I think they are all same. They work good along with good clean fiber rags.

S100 (sold in most bike shops) is very good stuff but it is mildly corrosive (like wheel cleaner sprays).   It's supposed to be safe for paint and the whole bike, but I don't use it on paint or shield, but on the lower grimy parts of the bike and wheels with scrub brushes, and followed by hot soapy water.  And it should be thoroughly rinsed off (esp paint).  

Spray 9 (an outstanding cleaner) is also mildy corrosive and a great household and bike cleaner (but not for paint or shield for me) and cheaper than S100.  Both work well to be the first step of cleaning wheels, before any polishing (with steel wool). Or cleaning the engine and underside, and especially the brakes.  Or cleaning your bathroom (Spray 9).

I think the S100 is a bit more corrosive than the Spray 9, but the basis of this opinion is only that the S100 will burn an open cut on your hand worse than Spray 9.  Because whenever I scrub the bottom of my bike, I almost always end up with open cuts.  Nitriles help.

At my Walmart, Spray 9 cannot be found in household stuff, it is hidden in automotive.

Neither is a general spray and wipe cleaner polish, they are bike washing & scrubbing products.

I started using Sprayway ceramic about a year ago. Good results and lasts.
