I use Honda Spray Polish or S100 everyday I ride and it keeps a cruiser looking showroom clean. These cans cost from 7-12$ each however they will last quite a while if used in this manner. Nothing replaces some elbow grease and a little soapy water however for in between paint protection and cleaning of all other parts, I don't think you could go wrong with either of the above products.

No affiliation with either. Just a satisfied customer.

Regards and God Bless,

Stewart

WD-40 got the stickers and goo off. You have to drown it and let it sit for while though.

I have tried EVERYTHING to remove the bag stickers and have had NO success. Those stickers are welded on i think from the factory. I have tried all products and Ican't even get an edge to start peeling. oh well, time to buy the bag chaps like Trip and cover them 566^&%^6&7 up

My friend, on his Harley Lowrider, pulled up right behind and to my right side and clipped me pulling into the restaurant. I now have a nice smudge/scratch on the top of my right saddle bag from his left grip (he fell over) lol ..... it looks like it will rub out....... any advice on what to use???

Otherwise I'll be getting those saddle bag bib/chaps after all!!

If I read an earlier post right, Pledge might help?

Got my Nomad Nov 05. Yep, this is the town where they make the Boss Hoss. I've driven the trike but not the two wheel version. Been through the factory. Interesting they use old drive shafts off of cars, cut them down to size and rebuild them for the trikes. I also found it fascinating that they sell a lot of Boss Hoss bikes to Japan. Apparently have quiet a following there.

I own an '05 which i waxed quite a few times the first year. then i wanted to bag decals off. I removed all other decals with ease, BUT not those bag decals. they haven't budged with anything I have tried. Must be welded on. Have tried everything suggested on here. I think if you remove them the first few weeks you get a new bike it might work, did for my bro with his '06.
