Actually, I use the kawiclean, which is the same as the honda spray polish when I clean the bike. Touchups are done with Pledge.

I have both the Kawiclean and the Honda spray. This is the one time that a Honda product is far superior to a Kwak product. IMHO the Kawiclean is garbage compared to the Honda product. That Honda stuff is good stuff. The Kwak stuff is worthless.

For quick clean ups, Honda polish. But maguires makes a wax called tech wax that is awesome.
I used it on a new bike (2000 miles), not expecting to see a difference, only to get good protection. I was suprised when I finished h ow deep and wet the color looked. It comes in a liquid and a paste also. BTW, it was the easiest wax to remove I have ever used. Two thumbs up.

Have seen this subject on many other sites! Lemon Pledge gets the same results,if not better, than the Honda spray polish!
I use it on both the metal and plastics! Gets rid of bugs, cleans the crap outta it, and gives it a nice bright polish! Even works on the mirrors and gives it a wonderful lemony smell! Try it! I was skeptical until I used it a couple of times and would use the other products in between. Pledge gave me the shiniest and cleanest results...No joking!

Lemon pledge is too greasy and doesn't last for shit. It isn't made for any kind of outdoor use. NXT tech wax is just a medium quality wax. I try everything and have tried it. I have a black truck that is an awesome test bed, as well as a new Corvette and us Vette people are anal about our waxes The tech wax and detailer are just pricey with little performance. One of the better spray detailer is Eagle One Wet. The Honda stuff is good, The very best is a product called Zaino (not sold in stores, but there are quite a few places to buy it on line) Unreal stuff. The majority of hot rodders, exotic car owners, and show car people swear by it. But a really good wax is 3m cleaner wax, and their finish restorer, that shit will shine a rainy day.

uhhh...Poindexter.....The ingredients in Honda Spray Polish are the exact same as in Lemon Pledge sans the lemon scent! I get a giant can of that for $1.39...How much you paying for that little can of Honda Spray? It's not greasy and my titatium sparkles better than ever! It's also great cleaner and gets rid of all the bugs and snot! I use it on my windscreen, plastics, exhaust, tank,mirrors, etc...
Everybody's always making fun of me on how friggin' clean the bike looks...like I just picked it up that day! I learned about it from 4 other sites and I'm passing it on here...If ya don't wanna use it...who cares? Spend all yer money on crap? Stop looking at me that way ... I see dead people...
