Cleaning FJR with Honda Polish

temp357 · Jul 6, 2006

Awhile back a few folks mentioned they were having trouble ... what's the right word ... ah, yes, "finding" honda polish to make their FJR nice and shiny.

Do they have it in stock? The information I got from a Gold Wing shop near me is that it has been discontinued. Something about the propellant and the EPA (?). I asked if Honda had plans to manufacture the product in a pump bottle but got no answer. I hope I'm wrong, I didn't read it on the internet but heard it face-to-face.

I use Meguiar's Quik Detailer on the windshield and bike,works grate.

You can buy it at Wall mart $4.19.... :clapping:

I think using Honda polish voids the warrenty.

No, warranty isn't affected, but it does make your FJR go slower.

Except the blue 05's and 06's. They're already slower. :lol:

Actually I think it's just the 06 Blue that's slower. Something about the increased estrogen used in the paint to make it "Cobalt."

As I understand it, it's on a state-by-state basis.

It'll turn into a Honda - just wait and see!

I use the same product, but get it from here. Spend a hundred bucks with them and shippings free.

Honda Polish $4.25 a can

I use the Quik Detailer too!

Make sure you always use clean Microfiber to prevent scratches.

XJRGUY · Jul 6, 2006

The Meguiar's Quick Detail is a great product.

I've been using it for years and its best to always apply it with a clean microfiber cloth.

Good stuff!

That would explain the problem. Thanks.

We're all obsessed with using Honda grease on our splines. Now this, Honda wax. What's next, Honda valve guides?

Hmmm, maybe. Them sickles are pretty quiet :lol: .

maybe the polish is great, but wal-mart? c'mon man. spend another 50 cents and buy it from your soon-to-be-starving local parts dealer. how many small town businesses have been destroyed by this monster... :assassin:

just my $0.02. soapbox dis-assembled now. i promise to ride tomorrow, even if it's still gray and cool.

They have changed the label from reading will polish everything to UNPAINTED SURFACES AND CHROME. Tons of it on the shelf in Fremont and Redwood City Honda shops. there were reports on my VTX site that said it was making some painted surfaces milky. I cannot confirm these reports.

The one from the link i put up is the REAL stuff, not the fake for chrome only version. The thing I don't get however, the both have the same part number.
