Thats me. I wash it when I work on it. Thats pretty much it. Oh, I do keep the chain clean tho, for some reason dirt doesnt bother me, but a gunked up chain does.

You know, this statement bothers me. How long does it take? 5 or 10 minutes?? People waste hours a day online, but won't take even a bit of time to clean something?? It's just weird to me.

Honda Polish is great, but I don't want to scratch the finish polishing w/dirt and sand that's on the bike. So, safely behind the closed garage door, I'll use a bucket of hot water and a little very diluted simple green or non-ammonia window cleaner to get the dirt to release, then I use the Plexus and a clean soft rag to polish.
You'd think with all of the rain (and now snow) we've received this year that they'd lift some of the restrictions, but not so.

I don't call a spray bottle and a clean rag washing the bike. Washing takes and hr or two. Now if it's clean, and I get some bugs on it, I'll sometimes spray it down. But if it's dirty I use lots of water as I don't want to rub dirt on the black tank and leave scratches.

It's just a waste of time, especially if you wipe down your bike frequently. I used it on my '04 one day and nothing changed. Just a waste of time, money and a waste of quick detailer that you could use just wiping it down normally.

I'm more interested in using the clay bar on my Jeep than the bike.
