What's Your Favorite Wax or Polish?

[ST_Jim]

On these non-riding rain-stormy day's my thoughts have turned to taking out some of those little scratches that have accumulated on my beautiful BLUE gas tank.

My usual quick application of Honda's spray on polish doesn't quite cut it. What's you favorite wax and or polish for use with a 2004 BLUE ST1300?

... the local Wingers got into this Liquid Glass craze a year ago. I use Honda's Pro Polish most of the time, also have some Zymol around ... usually a good wash once a month, then polish weekly.

Guys,
If you would rather be riding than polishing.
Try this product , http://www.5starshine.com/

Two years ago, I put this product on my 1996 Volvo 850 (silver colour like my 03 ST1300) because I was fed up with waxing it at least 3 times a year.
Well, not only have I not waxed the Volvo in 2 years, it still sparkles and what dirt sticks usually just rinses off.
I applied it to my ST1300 and now spend more time riding and less time cleaning.
It's pricier then other waxes but the teflon sure rocks for performance.

I have not interest or affiliation with this product, I'm just a very satisfied customer.

I found that Mequires "Scratch X" for paint works pretty well for removing the small stuff and scuffs.

I used Liquid Glass for years. Now I think of it as a "glaze," a not very long lasting or water resistant coating. I still use a glaze: Maquire's, along with their canuba (sp?) wax. The glaze only once and awhile and the wax over it and almost every week. Here in the Daytona area, there are so many mc's that if a body is going to have one, it's best if it be a good one and shiny. Anyway, I like to keep my bike in as nearly perfect condition, mechanical or otherwise, as I can. It is part of the experience. :)

Turtlewax has a color matched product. It works really well for removing (hiding) the fine scratches, swirls, etc. It even comes with a chip stick for filling small rock chips.

I currently use the above mentioned product. When I had my black ST1100 I used a similar product from a different manufacturer. It didn't have the chip stick but it also worked very well. Black shows everything and the color matched wax left the finish looking perfect.

So far, I've found Kit Motorcycle Polish works great for me. Found it while wandering around Advance Auto Parts one day :smile:
