Cleaning products..... What to use?

I do not normally get carried away with cleaning the bikes or cars.
As a consequence, I know little about the different products.

Short version:
What can I use to wipe down the bike that will not damage the windscreen or the plastic or the seats?

Thanks,
Kevin

I like Plexus. You still need to get the heavy stuff off that may lead to scratches when wiped.

This is the original "Honda Polish" https://www.denniskirk.com/original...mGP3oMvYZSLgCNhma8D21Eq06hOsCbFhoCQ0gQAvD_BwE

It works, does a good job of dissolving bugs, and reduces static hence reduces dust. Cleans and polishes without water, I use a 2 towel method, spray-on rub in with 1st microfiber towels, lightly buff with the 2nd. It will make your seat a little slick.

I bought a couple cans of that because it was cheap and a lot of people seemed to like it.
I didn't like it because you had to spend too much time buffing it out.
Didn't seem much better than Pledge.

Before I found Wash Wax All I used Eagle One Wipe & Shine Detailer and before that Mequiar's Quick Detailer.

I use Motul Insect remover 103256 for removing bugs from the windshield and my helmet shield. For quick touch ups between washes and light dusting I use Meguiar's M34 Final Inspection. Get some nice microfiber cloths and only use them for your bikes paintwork and plastics.
 
I buy a pretty environment friendly product called Simple Green Max that's easily found at Canadian Tire etc. I find it good for getting even heavy wheel grime off. Non toxic.
 
I use S100 or Simple Green's Aircraft Cleaner for thorough cleaning but the OP asked

and for that the
