I have used this Dupont Polish $10 Walmart as well as many, many other products.
Anyone else try this Dupont and have a opinion? I like it for between washes okay.
Years ago in the 90's I also used Protect All aerosol spray version from my long gone cycle shop, The Protect All was also sold at Walmart a few years back but no more at least at my Walmart. the pump version is not as good and I will not use the pump version. ,
I prefer aerosol vs pump in everything from car polish to window cleaner, to bathroom cleaner.
This Dupont and the Protect All have the same look and smell and feel, I have never use furniture polish on my bike but from what I remember when polishing furniture, its almost the same smell, look, feel as the Dupont and Protect All sprays.

Brother there is a whole new world out there. Easier to work with, better results, better longevity.
Its a deep deep hole once you get into the detailing world
I recently bought two other brands of products to try.
Renegade and Adams.
Both of them are custom products for detailers, and show vechicles.
I bought a "bug remover" from both of them, as well as spot remover, waterless cleaner, and a spray on wax.
I will give it a try and report back.
I did some testing wioth the Renegade products. The bug remover works great. The water spot remover works great. The waterless cleaner I had some problems with. The bike was in the shade but still over 100 degrees outside. The product seemed to streak. I have to do several steps of my old stuff to get it looking normal again....
I'll try again when not so hot, like at night.
I dont have an AC garage....
I would like to try some of those "BUG REMOVER" products and I will one day.
Being new to the bat wing street glide those bugs do tend to stick,
For now i'm using what I have and doing what I know. I believe anything is easer to keep clean than to clean it up after it gets very dirty. I have been using Mequiars quick detail spray on the front often and then I go ahead and hit it quickly with a polish and then a wax not every time but most every time I get into bugs. .I hit just the bat wing and perhaps the top of my bags as the polish keeps the black paint swirl marks down and takes the bugs off at the same time, I'm quick as I can do this in a little over 5 min and I do it most nights when parking the bike or the next morning or before I ride it, I think doing this often makes the job easy.
Its just what I know to do and I have these cleaning products on hand.
That works! I carry a bottle of the Meguiar's Detail and a spray bottle of Bug remover at all times on on long trips. Sometimes I have to wash microfiber towels in the hotel, but this has worked for 1000s of miles and many years
On the road I use Honda Shine spray product. It has done great for me. At home I have liked 303 wash just to wash but I just bought the Wolfgang and in waterless mix mode it is really nice to clean and take bugs off.
