What should I use on my plastics?

[KillaCoDe]

Was wondering when cleaning the bike what kind of protection or cleaner should I use for the plastics on the bike? I have heard pledge? Lol Just wanted to make sure

I use the turtle wax ice stuff. Can use on pretty much the whole bike. Simple green works great for the greasy stuff.

Pledge is awesome. Just make sure you wash it too. If you jst keep using pledge without washing it will build up. I use it to get the light stuff off between washes. But i make sure to wash often enough that ive only used it twice, maybe three times. I makes getting the stuff off much easier too.

Ive used others and they work well. But they cost 5 times what a can of pledge does.

I only use unicorn urine, diluted to a 1:1000 ratio. Any more than that will ruin the finish.

I was wondering the same thing. I used a regular wax on the painted plastic - the fairings, front fender and rear fenders. I was wondering about the black parts - is that a paint or a plastic coating? Another odd material are the mirror mounts and stalks - they look like the kind of black plastic that you would find on a car that will turn white with wax. I don't want to leave bug guts on those things because the acids of decaying bugs likes to destroy finishes. I'm using a non-ammonia window cleaner, but that doesn't protect.

Any thoughts?

Eagle One Nano Wax on the entire bike. From windscreen to tail light. One microfiber to apply, one to buff off. It's 100% carnuba so it won't leave a residue on the textured plastic. Awesome shine, excellent beading of water and takes bugs off.

Wax on the painted fairings, Pledge wipes on the rims, and Plexus on the plastics and windshield, vinyl treatments also work on the black plastics, careful on the saddle, it can become slippery if treated. I use a Silicone impregnated cloth to clean metal parts (not the footpegs of course), and nothing on the exhuast can (it will stain).

+1 On the Turtle wax ICE. Used it today for the first time and loved it.
