Mothers mag polish seemed to work best for me re the header. I did not (nor would recommend) sand or use steel wool. I did use a Flitz polishing wheel some but a micro fibre cloth, as stated above, cut into strips and then pulled back and forth worked best. The initial cleaning is the worst, after that, maybe once a month for an hour.. Note, when I got the bike at 4,500 miles the header was very nasty.
Re other cleaning products, the S100 works excellent at the engine, metal nooks and crannies, just rinse very well with water...
For polishing the tank, fairing, etc, "Original" spray cleaner (used to be sold under Honda chemicals) works excellent, spray on, wipe off: http://www.jpcycles.com/product/900-044
"Plexus" also works extremly well on plastic surfaces, windshields, face shields, etc as well: http://www.jpcycles.com/product/900-683
