For exterior cleaning of my street bike helmet I use (what`s still generally referred to as) Honda Spray Cleaner and Polish. I don`t believe Honda actually sells it anymore, but the company that produced it for Honda still sells it in a rather generic form. Since the Pro Honda-branded bottles disappeared, I`ve seen it packaged like this:
or more recently this:
This stuff has so many uses. Melts bug residue, road grime and tar like nothing I`ve ever seen. Automotive QD`s can`t touch it`s cleaning ability. I`ve even used it in place of a QD as a last step after a traditional automotive wash. I`m sure it`s protection is nill, but it offers a lot shine and slickness. To be honest, I`m surprised it`s not talked about more here on autopia as a psuedo-QD product. I`m guessing since it`s petroleum-based it maybe doesn`t play well with LSP`s.
As for helmet interiors- I don`t do anything with mine, other than the occasional wipe-down.
