Topic: When cleaning your bike what waxes or shiny stuff do you use.

I have had great results with polishing with Wizards Turbo and Final cut on paint. I finish out with Black magic "Wet Shine" wax. I use Black magic "Tire Wet" on the tires. Then finish out with black to black plastic treatment where it call for it.

No I am not a distributor for any of the above.

I love "Mer - Ultimate car polish" It makes my bike gleam, and you can use it on paint and chromey bits. It also protects it and gets faint corrosion off - infact it's pretty good for cleaning, although you are supposed to clean first!

I dont use anything. I actually am trying to dull it out ,but the sun will take care of that over time.
They do sell products like "just once" which are designed specifically for spray-in bed liners, and they do work, i just dont need my tank being anymore glossy then it allready is...

Hey Cheapo,
Are you sure you want to be using tire wet/armor all/silicon on your tires???
In a turn you'll be having problems.
I use white wall/tire bleach to keep them clean.

This might explain a few things.

I have had no prob as long as I keep it off the tread  . I don't just squirt it on, I wipe it on nice and neat on the side walls.

The best wax by far is "One Grand Blitz Wax".  http://www.onegrand.com/ogpproducts.html
All of the One Grand products are top notch.  If they are ever discovered and become hot, they will sell for 5 times as much, like that Zymol crap.

Their is a product which i bought , called JUST ONCE that is basically armour all , without the slip.It is designed and made for keeping spray in bed liners - motorcycle seats/tires/etc looking good.
You spray it on - and wipe it off. I used it on my line-x'ed pickup bed - and it was a night and day difference. Put a good coating on my Guallari seat, and it looked brand new. I also did my ENTIRE front and rear wheels, with no slip or anthing (it's what showbikes use for shows).

It's good #$%* (google it 4 website)
