I like the Honda spray cleaner and polish better than Plexus.
I think it is cheaper, too.

I use the Honda cleaner on the bike plasic and tank, but I found it to leave some kind of haze on the windshield so I went back to the old standby. Novus plastic polish. The Meguires stuff Bounce recomends looks interesting. I don't remember ever seeing in a shop or store. I guess it's by order only.

I had a hard time locating Plexus. So I bought some Meguiar's PlastX at the local ******** Auto. It does an extremely good job of polishing the windscreen. It's just a pain to buff out properly.

Microfiber cloth is the ONLY way to go. Amazing how well just plain water and the microfiber cloth work.

+100 on the up-and-down only. No roundy roundy.

I carry a small microfiber cloth and a pack of Windex wipes on the bike.

Honda Cleaner is awesome on everything except the screen and faceshields.

For general cleaning I use Simple Green, (low) pressure washer and microfiber cloth. Ten minutes and I'm done with the whole bike.

BUT THE BEST METHOD IS TO BUY JIM A BEER AND SIT AND WATCH IRIS CLEAN YOUR BIKE. She's color blind and can't tell one blue from another. ;)

I will second the Honda Polish. It is almost the same as Plexus, but seems to work a little better. Honda Polish is not the same as Honda cleaner, they are two different products.

Honda Polish will work for the entire bike, just like plexus or S100
