This stuff is great! Spray on, rub in. This is like the same stuff (Honda polish) the dealers use. (in reply to cbr04) Post #: 3

(Could be yours for only $19.95!) Kidding. The Spray Polish is the way to go. It cleans up well. (in reply to Matthew52303) Post #: 4

It's called "Spray Cleaner & Polish" and you can pick up a 14 oz. can for about $5. Stuff works great as far as I'm concerned... there are several reviews on this site and others about this cleaner. _____________________________ '03 F4i, Yosh Ti TRS, PC III, Galfer brakes, K&N, flush mnts, LSL sliders, fender elim, hugger, xenon lts; Electro-pod, Tapeworks and mesh kits (in reply to cbrkilla) Post #: 6

Plexus spray works good on the windscreen and plastics too, but if its just pollen try the duster it works great. (in reply to NCBirdman) Post #: 8

You can shake it off, but there's a coating on the fibers, so don't wash or scrub it. Just shake off any large dirt particles, etc. (in reply to rippn) Post #: 10
