I finally got around to using this cleaner/wax product I bought back in October. I have always wondered how to keep my bike clean during the winter. I read a report on this product on a car detailing site and decided to try it. I hate riding a filthy bike.

It worked like a charm. I sprayed it on, let it soak for about 15 seconds, then wiped off (in one direction per instructions). Then once again with microfiber towels = WOW!! Looks like it just came off the showroom floor.....really.

It was about 45* in the garage. I was too chicken to try it in colder temps.

The product is called EcoSmart=RU from The Chemical Guys in L.A.

 

I bought some Amsoil cleaner.
Gonna try it.......(maybe).........

Miracle Wash Waterless Wash and Wax Spray

 

Glad OP is happy with what they have. Plenty of such products out there and I have a few. Usually too lazy to give my bikes a thorough detailing so these work fine for me.

 

Best stuff I've used for making the bike look nice quickly is this Honda cleaner. Fantastic stuff. Works great on all painted surfaces, chrome and plastics. It's inexpensive too. A lot of people I know who enter their old antique cars actually use this to spot clean parts right before shows and competitions.

 

I saw this in the Q&A:

 

just for reference, the product that you see marketed now as 'original bike spirits' is the original honda brite before honda changed their formula to something a little more eco friendly. the 'new' honda brite does not work as good as the original.

 

Not the same stuff but, I tried the Hog Spit last summer.
Not exactly intended for "cleaning" your bike.
But keeping it clean while on trips.
I used it at each fill up, worked like a charm, bought some more.
Carry it in the saddle bag all the time now.

 

Optimum makes some really good waterless and washless cleaners. They come in concentrates so you can make a lot from what you buy.

 

$20 for Wolfgang Uber makes 5 gallons of waterless wash. As good as anything out there or better. CarPro Echo2 works great on coated vehicles.
Do not use bike spirits on coated paint, absolute mess

 

This....
