What type of wax/polish do you use?

Ive been trying different waxes, and was curious of others peoples preferences.

 

I first wash the bike with Dawn to remove the old wax. I use Mequiar's wax (the one I have cleans and protects) and then a coat of Carnuba Turtle Wax.

 

Lately ive been using Zymol and it gives a great shine but seems to wash off easy, i use Hawiian shine brand car wash and its not supposed to harm waxes. At $10-$30 for a good wax i didnt want to have to try too many products!

 

Plexus works great for the plastics. For the tank I use whatever car polish I have at the time, usually Mothers brand though.

 

Meguiar's NTX wax and then detailer spray to clean it up between rides.

Action

 

Plexus is da bomb for plastic - cleans and protects!
I use turtle wax quick wax, works well.

 

Used to use only Mother's 100% Canubra wax paste but have started using Meguiars NXT Tech Wax Paste, its easier to apply and dosn't whiten plastics.

Auto Glym - an English product - bit pricey but worth every cent! They have a polish that takes micro scratches off and there wax is second to none!

Garnuba?? That is a food/candy additive and breaks down in the sun! Maguiars is verily good product - the best is Auto-Glym product!

 

Meguiars Cleaner Wax is the way to go! It has a very light abrasive in it that will clean off the smaller debris and grime you might not even see without close examination. I've been using it on my cars and bikes since I stopped using Zaino for the convenience of it.

Here's another tip, buy some Mother's Back to Black and use it on all the black plastic pieces like the chain guard and dash area. I even use it on the the brake lines, etc. It'll keep the plastic looking fractory fresh.
