Had to get all them friggen love bugs off the thing... I think this is the first time I've actually washed the bike rather than using Honda polish to clean it... turned out pretty well... Used Eagle One wet car wash...

Then a Mother's California Gold Clay Bar kit

Then Meguiars NXT spray wax

Then used Honda Polish on the wheels and misc. smaller panels.
Then used simichrome on the exhaust.
Then used sun of a gun vinyl/rubber protectant on the seats and edge of the tires.

And this is the results:

Centrifugal forcce will sling that stuff out to the tread. I wouldn't want slick rubber anywhere near the road.

i let it dry completely before I ride... I've rode 150 miles since then and none of it has slinged off or budged... I don't do it anytime I wash it just once n a while for photo ops :)
