I'm not claiming to have made any great discovery here, but yesterday I was looking for a way to polish out some minor scratches on my 250's rear fender. I was hoping to avoid a trip to the store for supplies when I noticed an old Turtlewax headlight lens polishing kit. It worked! Quite well in fact.

Anyone else make this discovery? Sorry if this is old news, but I thought I'd share it on the off chance I'm onto something new here.

Yep, car cleaning products are great for dirtsickles. I use the Turtlewax interior & carpet cleaner on my seat too, brings it up like new!

I know it's brought up in almost every cleaning thread. But I still amaze people when I go to wash my bike and whip out the bottle of shout laundry cleaner and it brings my bike back to brand new looking in 5 minutes.

Floor polish like Future will bring back the shine and fill some scratches

Chillrich! I like that idea! I used to be into building some elaborate plastic scale models (World War II aircraft) and would use Future to dip the canopies and wind-screens in. Makes them look like glass.

I once worked for a dealership, Ontario Honda, and we used furniture polish (I believe pledge) to keep a shine on the bikes.

I've heard of using pledge also like a cheaper version of SC1. Anyone know which version of pledge works the best?
