how do you clean you rockster

Whats the best way to clean and "Polish" the flat black paint on the Rockster? I always use to use Champions Choice Protect All (Lemon Pledge in the "70s and "80s) or Pro Honda spray cleaner/Polish.

Any body using this stuff?

It's flat paint, use water and a clean towel for drying. Rub long enough and you will have a shiny rockster.

I used the other stuff you mention on my shiny rides.

I use 303 Aerospace Protectant; it has SPF 40. It is a little shiny when done, but the flat effect returns after a bit. That particular product is also good for the hoses, and all the plastic bits, especially the alternator cover behind the front wheel. It creates a non-stick effect that makes cleaning much easier. I bought it from:

I use a quality car wash soap, towel dry and finish with Meguiars Paint Restore. Great for minimizing fine scratches and leaving an even black finish.

I've got the green Rockster... haven't washed it 'cept maybe for the headlight and flyscreen, and it's nearly 2 yrs old. Bug guts colors kinda match.

WOW! I don't wash mine that often, but I do make sure to clean it about every 6 weeks. It's more to get my hands all over it that to clean it. I like getting a close look at the bike and checking for leaks, cracks, loose bits, etc.

I clean the screen and the headlights and that's about it.

Is this stuff similar to Armour All?

Armour All sits on the surface of vinyl and actually promotes craking, by incresing surface temperature. 303 is a sun block which prevents aging. The guy I buy it from will ship to UK; just let him know I sent you
