Re: Detailed my bike but I have questions
I use S100 Special Surface Cleaner on my plastics and rubber.
For the wheels I use Flitz Polish.

Look into Optimum Power Clean for your rubber and plastic/vinyl. It's a very versatile product that can safely be used on everything from paint, engines and even delicate surfaces like leather. I consider this one of the most valuable products I have and I'm sure you will be impressed as well.

Re: Detailed my bike but I have questions
NICE BIKE!
I need suggestions on what I can clean the rubber and plastic/vinyl with. I also want some sort of protectant that I can use on the seat and floor boards that will not be slick.
I'd go with a quality Vinyl Cleaner and CarPro CQuartz Fabric and Leather Coating. Just be sure to park the vehicle in the sun or use a heat gun (with caution) to dry the coating. Here's a pic from TrKent (Dream Detail) used CarPro CQuartz Fabric and Leather Coating as his protectant.
Full Detail here: http://www.autogeekonline.net/forum/...etail-exo.html
I used Optimum Metal Polish on the chrome and shift/brake levers and it worked great! It really shined on the levers and shifter, I was impressed. Now with that said do you guys suggest some kind of polisher I can use to get some reach and also reduce buffing time. I am thinking of something like Wool Ball or Flitz Balls I used my 5.5" pads for some of the chrome but that isn't the best option because of sling.
The LC Wool Ball is pretty aggressive and works great on neglected metal, but I wouldn't finish with it. I wrote a review on that Wool Ball here: Lake Country Wool-Ball + S100 Corrosion Protectant Review
I would go with the Flitz Balls or the Meguiars Dynacone like esv5454 suggested. Just be sure to apply a protectant after polishing metal to keep it look good. Something like S100 Corrosion Protectant.
I also found out how bad I need those Daytona Speed Brushes. Getting to those wheels and in parts around the engine would have been way easier with it. Any suggestions on a wheel cleaner and protectant?
For a wheel cleaner, I use Wolfgangs Tire and Wheel Cleaner.
I like it because it's safe for motorcycle tires. So you can clean your wheels really well and not worry about any harsh chemicals damaging the tires. For a wheel protectant I've been using CQuartz DLux Plastic & Wheel Coating, although I'm itching to remove my wheels and apply Dodo Juice's Supernatural Nano Wheel Sealant. And yes, Daytona Speed Master Wheel Brushes are necessities for bike details.
Keep us updated and thanks for sharing!
