PRC Posted April 15, 2007 Share Posted April 15, 2007 I went to the Honda place to get some Honda polish and was told, "We don't have any and they don't make it anymore." Is it true? If so, what the hell?? Can anyone confirm or deny this for me? Link to comment
BlueRidgeBoy Posted April 15, 2007 Share Posted April 15, 2007 I think I remember a magazine article a year or so ago that said they stopped selling it in California. If there was some environmental reasong for discontinuing sale in CA it may have followed, like so many things, in the other 49. Link to comment
SCed Posted April 15, 2007 Share Posted April 15, 2007 I saw the new generic can at the honda shop all ready. The can looks near the same as the old. Looks like honda just wanted to drop their name from the product. Also, Kawasaki has the polish/cleaner that is supposedly the same stuff. I think when I'm out of the original honda brand the replacement at the honda shop will be my next try. Link to comment

Firefight911 Posted April 15, 2007 Share Posted April 15, 2007 Yes, it is still made. It's just considered contraband in CA. Contact someone outside of CA and they can get it for you and smuggle it in. I know because I had someone (Thanks He Who Shall Not Be Named!!!! ) do just that for me. That stuff is Killer. Killer I tell you. It cleans so well it will take a Killer bike that is dirty and make it a Killer bike that is clean!!! Link to comment
Redbrick Posted April 15, 2007 Share Posted April 15, 2007 This stuff gives a great shine and pretty good protection....Not near as easy as the Honda spray stuff but bike looks great after an application ... www.z-bestcarwax.com Phil.........Redbrick Link to comment

I guess I'll have to find a Killer supplier so that I can keep my bike in Killer shape. Somehow I knew you'd have an answer for me, and yes, I'm as obsessed with a clean bike as you are !

boatzo Posted April 15, 2007 Share Posted April 15, 2007 All's not lost, Plexus is good. Pat I use that on my screen! I use it on the Tupperware as well. Works great. Link to comment
barncobob Posted April 15, 2007 Share Posted April 15, 2007 this may be what you are looking for they also have a hondabrite spray, never tried either back in my wing days. http://www.hondadirectlineusa.com/stores/product.asp?pid=1414&str=4&ID=51105676 Link to comment
ShovelStrokeEd Posted April 15, 2007 Share Posted April 15, 2007 Florida? I get it at my local dealer all the time. Haven't been over there in awhile as I picked up 4 cans last time. To me, it would just be another excuse for a ride to Georgia or maybe Tennessee or Virginia or ......... I'll be back Sunday night, honey, need to pick up a little polish. Link to comment
NoLongeraK1200RSRider Posted April 15, 2007 Share Posted April 15, 2007 Phil.. why so secretive on the supplier? I mean after all, your bike always looks so Killer that I wondered if you ever rode that Killer thing.. let alone let it get to the point of needing a Killer clean up job! Link to comment
Rotor Posted April 15, 2007 Share Posted April 15, 2007 Confirm Florida to the list. Bought a can last week and they said they had 100 +/- cans in stock. When it's gone, it's gone. There won't be any more. That's the scoop from the local shop where I live. Link to comment

Ya know, that's just really Killer, Phil! You'll have to let us know who this Killer person is (do you think Bob will mind sharing his name - hehehe). Link to comment
Dave_zoom_zoom Posted April 16, 2007 Share Posted April 16, 2007 OK! What exactly is this "KILLER" Honda spray we are looking for? Hondabrite? The Spray Cleaner & Polish as indicated by barncobob? Or what? Link to comment
Firefight911 Posted April 16, 2007 Share Posted April 16, 2007 It is the Honda brand Spray Cleaner & Polish. Been using it for 20 years. Love the stuff!!! Link to comment
Heck Posted April 16, 2007 Share Posted April 16, 2007 Just mix a little wasabe in with Plexus and put it on with a rag..... Oops... Link to comment
brinkjm Posted April 16, 2007 Share Posted April 16, 2007 That stuff is Killer. Killer I tell you. It cleans so well it will take a Killer bike that is dirty and make it a Killer bike that is clean!!! Yes. This is true. But! Will it make Killer's bike clean? This remains to be seen...

ESokoloff Posted April 16, 2007 Share Posted April 16, 2007 Ya right He's a pusher... not a user Link to comment
Husker Red Posted April 16, 2007 Share Posted April 16, 2007 Whew!!! Good thing I saw this post - I love that stuff!!! I just asked my wife to stop by the Honda place on her way out of work. She picked up 4 bottles for me, so I'm set for a few years. They confirmed that Honda has in fact discontinued it. They thought it was because of some EPA thing. Perhaps it's those toxic fumes making us goofy which is why we all like it so much! Mike BTW - She got it at Lawrenceville Honda, so if you NEED to get a Honda Spray Cleaner fix... Link to comment
bakerzdosen Posted April 16, 2007 Share Posted April 16, 2007 Also, Kawasaki has the polish/cleaner that is supposedly the same stuff. I have some of the "Kawa-clean" stuff and it seems to work OK. I haven't really done any side-by-side comparisons, but I imagine that I'll grab some Honda stuff before it's gone and see if I can tell a difference. Link to comment
Alt Posted April 17, 2007 Share Posted April 17, 2007 Today I stopped at the local honda dealer to see if they had any cans of the cleaner polish. They didn't however the parts guy told me that the company that produces the hondaline spray cleaner polish for honda will have its own product out in a few weeks. He had a print out from the net, the label on the can is the same - the honda name. The company name is "Amrep" Link to comment
azkaisr Posted April 17, 2007 Share Posted April 17, 2007 It is the Honda brand Spray Cleaner & Polish. Been using it for 20 years. Love the stuff!!! Funny how illegal chemical pushers of that stuff never use it themselves.... Kaisr The Truth is out there Link to comment
