I use Eagle1! detailer, and Mothers Show Time detailer, the detailers do cut dirt and make the finish smooth. Ive never waxed Gixxie, I just use the detailer.wee

I'll have to try one of these, I've always cleaned it the old fashion way and then waxed it.

I found that after washing the bike, spray the whole thing down with Honda Polish while still wet and then dry it with a soft cloth. Leaves her SHINY.

The only time I use water is when she has a good coat of actual dirt on her. Otherwise I only use honda polish...it's the only way to go. I use water as little as possible to keep it out of areas prone to rust....not a requirement just some safe keeping. I ride her enough in the rain that I don't need to get her wet from cleaning her.
BOnus of Honda polish is the more you use it the easier the crap is to get off the body.

Honda polish is the only way to go! It's good for the whole bike, from top to bottum. Ride safe.

At the dealership after we pre bikes we spray the whole thing down with a hose, then blow dry it with an air compressor and when its dry we use Honda Polish on everything but the seat! I love that stuff too! It just works really great!

I love this stuff...

Ever since Resus mentioned the leaf blower, I've saved a ton of time, If I ever make it out to WI, first few rounds are on me

I like Midazolam myself- no need to remember, then you never lie.

I have always found Plexus at the Bike shops. They make a pocket sized one that is great for face shields too.

Oh Yeah!

We had a lady OD on vet grade ketamine she ripped off a couple years ago. 400 pounds and stuck in her car, a 2 door Cavalier, unresponsive.

She was my first tube, used an 8.0 on her.
