Honda Polish. It is the best thing you could possibly do for your plastics, if you own a sportsbike. It also shines up a helmet nicely. Just don't get it on the visor. If you have a fog resistant coating on the visor, this stuff will eat it right off.

I use vinegar and water more then anything else for cleaning. Turtle wax for the paint afterwards.

I agree with you. I use this for spot cleaning and for getting grease off my swing-arm and parts the get chain oil on them from my over generous lubing.

For a big washdown I use dishsoap in a bucket with a sponge and washcloth. I also have a bottle sponge and a little dish brush for the hidy holes. I wash the hole bike about once a month or so and spot clean it otherwise.
