I used to use some stuff called "Plexus" ... worked great, but it about doubled in price - now about $25 a 12 oz. aerosol can ... Then I came across some stuff that actually works really good and it's only $10 per can (12 oz.) it's called ... R U ready ? ... HONDABRITE ... might void yer warranty though ...
aka, hondabrite. the hondabrite is a different formula than it used to be and is not as good. the old formula is now sold under the 'original bike spirits' mo****r. obs can be found at my local Walmart for $5.95 can. or the local metric shop for $6.95
About a year ago I switched to Wizard products, I really like it and feel its as good if not better than Mequiar's. However the biggest reason I use it is that I can get it at cost through my son's shop which makes it more economical than buying Mequiars from a store. The Wizards stuff is also good on both paint and chrome and in addition works on Lexan
Topcoat is "Supposed" to be a coating. Reports from detailers on forums I belong to is that it is over priced and I won't say what else. There are way better coatings on the market then Topcoat.
There has been many threads about instant detailers. I don't use them personally because I try and keep all of my detailing products at a self imposed limit. I have thousands of dollars wrapped up in detailing supplies; machines, pads, MF towels, compounds, polishes, coatings, sealants, and a few waxes. One of the best all around products to have is a waterless wash, in concentrate form. Many good ones out there, BlackFire, Wolfgang, Ultima, Pinnacle, etc. 1oz of product to 48oz of distilled water for the one I use. You can wash your bike with it, remove bugs, use it for quick remover of dust. Many applications.
$29 for the bottle and it makes 6 gallons of wash, I'd say thats economical. Waterless wash is way slicker than a detailer and cleans better than any other product mentioned.
Ive mixed up 4oz bottles for friend and let them try it and after the first use they order their own.
