Pledge

Above are the contents of Lemon Pledge which I used to use, but strictly on my windscreens.

Upon review, the ingredients do not seem to compare favorably with the Honda spray product. At least the Honda product contains natural Carnuba wax and UV protection. The chemicals in Pledge look harsh enough to strip existing wax off of painted surfaces.

For years, I have used the Honda Pro Spray (used to even be under a different name) on painted surfaces. On all my black rubber & plastic surfaces (cables, brake hoses, switchgear covers, chain guards, etc.) I have used Black Magic Tire Wet (http://www.blackmagicshine.com/tire-wet.php) by spraying on a cloth, and wiping on. Much as the OP describes Pledge doing, it leaves a slick protective film that stops stuff from sticking. The Tire Wet is very thick silicon based and leaves a great shine. After a ride, you can just easily wipe off the yuck from the road. Everybody had their little detailing tricks (like the Pledge) and the Tire Wet was one I stumbled across years ago.
