Default Simple Solution - reply

KISS is right - cheap answer is elbow and a soft rag. Soap and elbow work great. However, I have also found as a Honda VTX 1800 owner that Honda polish can make a turd shine. The stuff is amazing and cheap. Hit a Honda motorcyle shop, spend $8.00 and follow the directions - you will have spent your money wisely.
