What is a good cleaner for my bike?

Question:
I just got a Honda Shadow over last summer and it is my first bike. I was wondering what is a good cleaner for my bike to get bug guts and water marks out. I don't want to get something that will ruin my paint and chrome. I appreciate it.

Answers:

Honda makes an excellent cleaner/polish that they sell in aeresol cans. You can find it at your local honda dealer. It's illegal to sell in CA for some dumb reason though so I hope you don live there.
It works great as a polish/protectant for the bike if it's already clean.
If the bike is dirty.. the best method is good old fashion bucket of water and car/bike wash soap. Use simple green to clean brake parts and really grimey parts.

Just mix a squirt of dish soap in a empty spray bottle with plain water. Spray that on the bug guts and wait a few minutes and they'll wash off pretty nice. The water spots I use DuPont white polish and a damp rag, then wax it.

i went to mmi and we use pledge on the bikes down there also. honda makes a spray wax but pledge is the same thing. plus the nice lemony smell. just spray on any paint or chrome and rub over the bugs or water marks. switch to a clean dry area on the cloth, or use a different cloth to buff and polish the wax after it dries a bit. saves a ton of money.
