Anyone else use this polish?

Something you may be interested in:
Pro Honda Spray Cleaner & Polish
As Honda says - "Formulated exclusively for Honda, Pro Honda Spray Cleaner & Polish is the ultimate "Detailer in a can" for motorcycles and other vehicles. It cleans road grime, bugs, grease, dust, and shipping preservatives without water, leaving a "showroom shine" that helps to protect against sun damage, ozone and dirt accumulation." Blah, Blah, Blah, Whatever....
I've been using it on our Honda Odyssey in the engine compartment, door jams and sill plates for a while and it is pretty good stuff. It doesn't leave any residue either. I haven't used it on exterior painted surfaces even though they say it's good for that too.

Today I used it on the all the covers under the hood on the TL and it worked really well. No greasy, oily mess. Just a nice black finish. Just the way it was when I got it. It also works really well on the aluminium trim on the grill and front lip of the hood. No streaks at all.

It also works well in areas that are hard to wax because it doesn't leave a white paste where it dries. Basically if you can wipe it on with a cloth and buff that's all it takes. I'm thinking it might work well on the dash but havn't needed to use it there yet since a damp towel has been keeping that under control.

Not sure it the Acura dealers have it but it was about 5 bucks at the Honda Dealer. Works great on Bicycles too. Not sure how it would compare to the 303 stuff others like. I have to get some of that too to compare.

Like supercomputers I use it on my motorcycle as well. It is really good stuff - easy to use and does a good job both cleaning and waxing. I keep a can of it around for quick touch-ups. It keeps my bike looking new without a great deal of time or effort involved.

No matter what polish you are using, throw it away. Nothing is as good as Zaino.

Dude, I'm not talking about using it on the exterior painted surfaces. Do you really Zaino the black plastic under the hood?

So what other products have you tried to compare Zaino to? Zaino doesn't do everything...Zaino is simply a sealant, not to be confused with polish (it's really dumbed they named it "polish") Although Zaino has come out with a new, actual polish, or paint cleaner, it's not the only product in the world and there are FAR more products out there that give a better overall feel and look, less plasticky, that take less time. Don't get me wrong, I use Zaino Z-2 sometimes as a sealant for my detailing clients who specifically request durability, but that's about it. It is quite finicky and a sealant like Four Star UPP, Wolfgang Deep Gloss, Poorboy's EX/EX-P, etc. offer faster usage and better looks. It's all subjective, but it just gets me mad when all people talk about is Zaino, especially considering that 90% of Zaino users haven't tried any other of it's competitors (and Meguiar's Gold Class doesn't count).

As for this Honda Cleaner, I don't see a specific target for it. *I* wouldn't use it on my paint, nothing in an aerosol can, but I'm sure it would do well on engines/engine plastic/trim (as it states, primarily for bicycles). For the dash, try 303 Protectant, I think you'll really like it. For something on a weekly basis, follow up with the new Meguiar's Quik Interior Detailer. Spray it on everything, including screens and electronics, wood and metal, leather, vinyl, and wipe. It leaves a showroom fresh look, very matte and simple, doesn't streak or spot.

Always use Microfiber!!!

This product is targeted for use on motorcycles. It has a lot of carrier petro distillates in it, works on all surfaces, which is great for cycle use.

I think there are much better choices for everything this spray does - 303 for the dash, one of the light cleaner/waxes like Mother's Reflections Car Wax, Meguiar's NXT, etc for the paint, Stoner's Glass cleaner for windshield, Rain-X for side windows and rear window, etc.
