After trying just about everything, I decided to go right back & start from the beginning & used a clay bar & swirl remover on all paint work, then from here on in I'm using meguiars nxt tech wax 2.0, ( did that twice to put a good coat on) & use it after each wash, the paint looks deeper & has a shine like you would after 8-10 beers!. for the chrome I use meguiars nxt all metal polysh (yes that's how it's spelt!) or meguiars hot rims chrome polish....these products have my 10 year old bike beaming & people still say it looks like a brand new one!

Gents, I use S100 engine brightener of almost everything....hell, it works so good on plastic I used it when I detail my car too.

Just need to watch the fumes and be sure to use it in a well ventilated area.

I use Meguiars NXT Generation TECH WAX 2.0. Goes on easy and and easy to remove. If need be I will clay bar and then use Meguiars Cleaner Wax. I also have some of the Harley Gloss haven't really tried it yet though. I just know the Meguairs works great on cars when I wax them so I stick with it.

I have used pledge one time about 2 weeks ago on the paint and chrome and it really made it shine. I told others whom do not own a bike what I did and they looked at me like I had lost my mind.

Pledge worked good for me, but will still put some kind of wax on the bike at times, just waiting to see which wax product others suggest and try it.
