ROCHESTER,NY | Does anyone use the waterless washe's that are available???? Are they any good? Do they leave c.c. scratch's. I've had the new Vision for a month now.Was able to finally give it a bath.WOW talk about,crack's and crevice's. I use an electric leaf blower on low, then a nice clean micro fiber towel.But to no avail the water,seem's to magically appear.

Rhode Island | I use a swifter to take off the majority of dust then I use Captain Richard's Best cleaner/polish. If really dirty I will rinse with water using an open hose (no nozzle), leaf blower to dry then Capt Richards.

Salina, KS | I swiffer the dust off & the use Bug Slide on the entire bike. It works great for chrome & the windshield too. I clean it this way every week & get compliments all the time about how the bike shines. The only time I wash it with water is if I've been riding in the rain & it has heavy road-grime all over it....then dry it with the leaf blower & follow up with Bug Slide. |

| I use a good no haze detail wax if I'm in a hurry. Doesn't take long and the shine is outstanding. |

Anderson, IN (48mi NE of downtown Indianapolis) | After a ride I blow the dust off with the air compressor. I use a blow gun with a rubber tip so I can get in the crevices without fear of scratching anything. I found this method to take about 1/2 the time as wiping by hand. |

Kansas City, MO | Amsoil makes a dry wash that says it floats dirt and then you wipe it away - just used it yesterday and it did a great job - no scratches |

Columbia, SC | I was told Honda's spray polish was pretty much the best solution for cleaning every surface. Truth to that? |

Gotha, FL | I have never washed my bike and use only Pledge multi purpose spray in a bottle, Mothers "Reflections" wax and overspray that with SC-1 Clearcoat after its waxing is done. Looks as clean as it did the day it came off the showroom and get lots of compliments on how well the bike looks. The pledge takes bugs and grease off like nothing else. The SC-1 gives it almost a wet look. It really makes black pop. |

Anderson, IN (48mi NE of downtown Indianapolis) | I know a boat painter that uses Pledge furniture polish between boat waxings. I never tried it on my own, but he has used it for many years.

| I use the wax shop products and I swear there is none better. They have every thing one would want. There detailer is the best it has a antistatic formula that keeps dust away with a pleasant smell. You would not be sorry with these guys.

West Chester, PA / 08 VVPT | I really like Turtle Wax ICE. After washing the bike and wiping it down with a towel, I let the bike sun dry then use ICE and a clean Microfiber to go over the whole bike..... I am a lazy guy and this it the laziest way I found to clean the bike.
