Anyone Use Honda Spray Cleaner? I've been using this aerosol spray cleaner on my bikes for years with great results...it goes on real quick, and off with very little fuss and seems to remove most fallout.

It doesn't last long, but I was curious if anyone had used it on their cars?

I take a can along for road trips. Really eats through the bugs and road grime.

In case you didn't know, the original makers of Honda Polish have released the product under their own label. It's supposed to be the exact same formula of the now extinct Honda Polish. If there's a Honda Polish out now, it isn't the good old stuff.

I started using it this summer on my bikes; (Non-honda'ski). Great stuff. I have a dozen detailer and spray polishes. All work great. I've had a can of the Harley Spray Polish for 4 years. Great stuff.
I was totally against this stuff years ago. My mindset was, water is needed to rinse the scratchy stuff away. That's true, but there are times when the car or bike aren't dirty, just atmosphere dirty and need a sprucing up.

What ever works at the cheapest price wins....though I love change and exploring.

Bought Stoner's Bead and Shine today. Cheap. It says cleaner, polish, and wax, but upon reading the directions it says to remove dirt and dust first. LOL I just did the vette, which was a little dusty. I'll see what it looks like if I pull it out tomorrow for work.

TW Foam Away does great stuff. Cheap as I get it on base for $3.

That's not what the non-Honda labeled stuff looks like. My can says "Next Generation......"

What do you mean non-Honda labled stuff? The Original Bike Spirits is the old Honda Polish is a new can.

GotChrist?

I mean it's in a different label. Maybe they've redone it again for a 3rd time: Honda, Next Gen, now OBS. On the site you (I think it was you) it said they thought this was the original Honda stuff. The real stuff, the stuff I have, is from the Honda dealer but isn't labeled Honda. It's on the net too, but not sold as OBS.

Actually, I use it after the bike/car has been wiped down to pull dust and grit, and then add the polish for further shine. Hmm...

Great for touch ups on billet wheels between polishing

I use the old formula, I still have some squirreled away

It is still one of the best cleaners I have used for bug removal, quick polishing, and overall light cleanup.
