Thank you for bringing this up Grum! I know exactly what you're talking about when it comes to being really really fussy about the appearance of you motorcycle(s). I've used Mothers products for a long time and have had great results with a lot of their products. I've also been introduced to a product, and have recently used, that is from the aviation world called Plexus. The person that introduced it to me owns and uses it on his own aircraft. I have always used what was called Original Bike Spirits until now, but I do believe those days are over. I was somewhat skeptical, at first, about Plexus, but after using it on several of my motorcycles I'm hooked. I understand airplane pilots use it on their windshields to clean and maintain them and the man that told me about it can testify that he will not use anything else on his aircraft. Looks as though I won't be using anything else either. Now, the Plexus can be somewhat pricy. I purchased a can of it from my local Kawasaki dealer and it was $27 US. I'm sure you can get it cheaper online. I tried this on a couple windscreens on my other bikes and I couldn't believe what a difference it made. Not only can you use it on the windscreens of your motorcycle(s) but anything plastic on them as well i.e. fairings front and rear and any other ABS plastic body parts. It says it is static free as well, keeping dirt from attracting to it. Thus far I'm a big fan of Plexus and plan on using it from now on.
I do have a question about tire dressing. What do you guys use to clean the road grim off the sidewalls of your tires to make them look nice?
