A light dish detergent soap.

Maguire’s & Mothers make nice products. With the sun in AZ you’re going to need to protect that paint with a good wax.

I just bought 3 cans of Suzuki quick wax (I think it’s the same as Honda wax) it was cheap from Extreme, so I stocked up. I’ll give a review this spring.

Only if you want to rewax every time.
  • Your favorite car soap for the big jobs
  • Your favorite spray detailer for dust
  • Kerosene or WD-40 for grease smears and road tar (on metal only)
  • Mother's metal polish

Anyone use PigGlo? Sold mainly at Harley Dealerships, however a friend of mine is involved in the company and gave me a box of thier products to try out. The spray on Jug and Wheel cleaner is AWESOME and really cleans the jugs in the grooves. The wax is a polymer I believe and really brings out a deep shine in the paint. On my truck and boat I'm partial to Pinnacle wax products but for now PigGlo seems to be nice for the bike...

PRO HONDA, spray cleaner and polish in the aersol can.

I would swear by it. Works good on everything, metal, chrome, painted surfaces, this stuff is great on your car too. Check it out sometime.

I even got some of my harley ridin friends to try it, now they use it too!
