Let's not and say we did. I heard simple green works like a champ on the greasy parts and I use McGuires plastic polish on the painted parts.

Well,
thats what I use for the grease and road grime, works like a champ on the wheels, but you can only do so much with the black wheels like I got! Wish I had some shiny new wheels!

I seldom wash mine & since its matte black I'm not looking for a shine. When I wax my other bikes or cars I use Zymol wax. http://www.zymol.com/

In a word...........Plexus
The best cleaner I've ever used. Makes everthing shine without smears. Shines some much its wrong!

However, now it is not called Honda Polish. They rebranded and took off the Honda monicer.

Try S100. A mechanic friend of mine gave me some Honda cleaner to use and told me that S100 is the same thing. It cleans great (painted or unpainted surface).

for the Ash black (matte) I have found that Eagle1 nano-wax works better than any plexus type product. use the thick wax and not the spray bottle.

I use Plexus as well, or sometimes Pledge even.......

I recently picked up a bottle of the Armor All Triple Action wheel cleaner... it really takes all the crap off you wheels. It also removed chain lube nicely from the swingarm and hub.
Just spray on and lightly clean with a sponge then rinse.
Make sure to wear gloves though.
