So now that PRO is no longer producing the "classic" HONDA spray polish, Is there anything that seems to work as good, i bought the last few cans from my dealer and now i am finally runing low. I tried the "yamaha polish" which the tech guy @ the stealership said works just as good if not better, but i found it is not as easy on and off, It is alot thicker. I noticed on Honda's website they seem to have another product, Called Polish but it isn't the same traditional black spray can?? Any opinions?

Are you looking to actually polish or clean the paint before you wax it? Polish removes from visible scratches to micro scratches that dull the finish. I use Klasse All In One. It's a Paint Cleaner, Polish and Protectant. Literally the best you can buy. I've been using it on Porsche's to ABS painted plastic. It's one of only that actually bonds painted plastic.

What are you looking to do or results? When I detail motorcycles. After washing with car soap. I clay the paint and chrome, to get all the heavy contamints off. Then I use a paint cleaner. After I use a non cutting polish to smooth paint if needed. If you haven't since you bought it in a couple of years then go ahead but you don't want to polish if you dont' have to. Then I use P21S.
I can give you a code to save 15% or free shipping at autopia-carcare.com I'm not affiliated with them but honestly can say there great for any question you have and have the best affordable products.

In the past i just used the honda spray polish, basically everytime i went out, i would spray it on and wipe basically the whole bike down, it would look like a million bucks and didn't leave any residue. worked well on windscreens tanks, plastics, i wiped the wheels down... you name it, I never really washed it unless i hit mud puddles or something. I never waxed it either.
My main objective would be to dust it down give it some shine clean fingerprints off. Without having to "wet" the bike. 5 minute wipe down before i left.

I never have had any luck with something I can use on all surfaces. I know why u don't want to wash your bike. I hope you at least clean paint and wax it at the beginning of every season. Because you just don't want to keep coating over micro contamints you can't see. If you clean the paint then wax every season and at the end of the riding season you remove it all, then what you do is fine. Cause Motorcycles don't see salt and to much rain.
I suggest two products to ya. One is 303 Protectant. It's one of only few that has 100% UV protectation, repels dust and staining for up to 5 weeks on rubber, vinyl, fibergalss, plastic and tires. So you can pretty much use it on everything on a bike. I just wouldn't on paint because you won't get the shine you want. Nothing is better for protecting. I use it on my helmet, shield, corbin seats, and plastic.

On the paint I would use Sonus Carnauba Spritz. I go through two boxes of this every year for my limited customers. They love it, because it rejuvinates the wax like you just spent all day waxing. You get a great wet look. Even at night.

SAVEBIG if you put in the promo or coupon code will save you 15% on your order.
Hope I helped ya. Those are the two I sell to motorcycle customers and they come back all the time for it.
