Hello,

I have a Charcoal Grey Spyder RT-S. (I LOVE IT!) However, from polishing Chrome and Metal on my husbands Harley, to Plastic Siding on my Spyder... What is the best product you have found to clean the plastic siding without leaving swirl marks, or damaging the plastic?

Thanks for your help!

Also, I ride in Ventura County CA. Anyone near by!? I would like to ride together!! :P

Me? I just use whatever soap is already in the shower...
Ohhhhh... The Spyder!

I use MeGuier's Quick Detaile for the normal cleanups
Dirtier work gets car wash first, and then Lemon Pledge.

I also use the Meguire's (spelling?).
Hey Bob--you're the 2nd person I've seen talking about Lemon Pledge. Seriously???

My dealer recommended the Honda Pro High Performance cleaner and polish. (New Formula)

It works great and IMOP better than Plexis (sp).

I use Mr Sheen furniture polish works great and makes the bug guts come off the front easier ..... have used it on all my bikes for years

Why yes I am...

We were using this stuff back in the mid-eighties at a Honda dealership when I was Part-timing there; putting together bikes for "Gold-Wing Chrome money" on the side...

The only downside that we ever saw was that it would attract dust...

Hmmm...I'll have to give it a try. ABQ can be a bit dusty, so we'll see how that works!

The best product hands down for cleaning the Spyder is Lucas Slick Mist, does not attract dust, applies instant wax and takes less than 5 minutes to do the entire Spyder, this is why my bike looks brand new on every ride.

I found Plexus the best for plastic windshield and chrome, it's just kind of expensive, so I don't use it all the time

Plexus and Pledge. Works for me. All of these suggestions are good. Ya just gotta use them...
