Default Whats a good all pupose cleaner...

I dont have access to water in my winter storage so I need some advice on a good, all purpose cleaner that I can use on my paint and chrome before I shine.

The Harley spray polish....Honda originally made it and it's unreal good. Honda Spray Polish Cleaner. Lifts dirt and shines. No streaking. $6 a can is not bad but it goes quickly if you're not easy with it.


Cleans chain lube, bugs, wheels and shines paint chrome like wax.

Meguiars Quick Detail works pretty well. Just make sure you're not rubbing dirt into your paint. Spray on, wipe off, then reapply and polish.

Try Meguiars (spelling) ultimate quik detailer and a micro cloth. Works well with no water.

Pledge? No kidding? Ok, cool. Just apply over the dirt and wipe?

If its really dirty, I'll wipe it down with some simple green cleaner and a damp microfiber towel, and then the Lemon Pledge with another clean micro fiber towel.
