I never use soap and water. I usually clean mine before every ride and I'm a fair weather rider only, so it's usually pretty clean from the last ride.

First, I go over it with Mequires Quick Detailer. It's a spray. That'll get rid of the surface dust and bugs. It's important to use high quality terry clothes too! I have four and they each cost six bucks. Very, very soft. I wash them and dry them with one fabric softener sheet and they come out REALLY soft. I have one for the quick detailing, one for Plexus. Plexus is a polish for plastics. It works very good. And two for wheels or really dirty parts. On the wheels I use a bug and tar remover. It gets those things sparkly.

Just make sure you get a goo-gone type product that says clear coat safe. You should be alright. Make sure you get ALL of it off though.

Oh, I guess I should have mentioned that I don't use it on any clear coated surfaces...

Yeah. The stuff I use comes in a spray bottle. Not the compressed air type, but hand pump one. It's easier to control the amount with it. I just use it on my wheels though.

I've seen it done...twice...by the same person. :bash:

Fupid stuck.

I waxed mine with the Tech Wax too. About every 3-4 months. And I'd go over the wax with Plexus after. That bitch is gleamin' after that!

And fu*k using armor all. It makes it easier for dust to stick to the parts with it on it. Just use a quick detailer, or Honda Wax instead. It won't have the shine armor all puts on, but it does make it look fresh from the factory.
