I never wanted a lot of chrome due to the hassle of keeping it up so I was wondering what some of the guys here use to keep their babies clean.

I don't think it looks bad though for a bike I have less than 3500.00 in.

Gotta love those good snags, I bought an 06 1.5 yrs ago for $4500 with extras I sold so left me less than that in it.

When I saw you paid $3500 I figured you had a $5500 trade in ! At $3500 it was a steal !

That stuff has history... It was number 1 super good, then took a EPA hit and was doggy.... But it's back again. Just leave it to Bill Clinton and his EPA to screw up anything any good.

Not trying to be political in this room, but if you ever heard any bad about Honda Clean it was from the dark days, Kinda like AMF Harley

I'm also very sorry to hear about the circumstances, but you seem to have gotten a very nice bike for yourself. Ride safe.

The circumstances on both sides aren't that great but all in all we both came out good, my son is doing excellent so far and my buddy got the money he needed to get his back looked at a little deeper.

I will have to check the honda cleaner out hearing what I'm hearing, But I'm also checking that polish out to maby it can save me a little more work on some of the aluminum.

I almost forgot I got a nice bike that got me off of my v65 sabre that the little lady calls a death trap.

you got a great deal & a Great looking machine.. i use the honda polish & have for many yrs!!

Is the Honda polish only online or does the dealer sell it at a jacked up price?

Erilflynn · 05-10-2013, 08:52 AM

Any Honda dealer has it. It's only about $8 a can and a can lasts me a couple of years and I use it a lot. I also use their Hondabrite spray when I clean the bike with a hose. My first bike was a Shadow so I used their products a lot and kept using when I became a Vulcan rider about ten years ago. Their oil and filters are great too and cheaper Han the Kawi stuff.

Congrads on the great looking bike and price while everyone is telling their cleaning secrets . I found a spary called ice bt turttel wax that you can spary on everything windseeild to chrome to rubber to seat works on everything cost around $7 dollors and beats anything i have ever used and I clean on my bike all the time the more you use it the better it looks. Good luck with the new bike and ride safe and waer a helmet if you want to.

Great on windscreens and for removing dried bugs, plus a nice shine without too much buffing.

I use the Honda cleaner as well. Always have a can in my saddle bag.

Going to buy some Honda cleaner this week I've heard too much good about it.
