OK.... probably stupid question... or another wasted thread. I have been "getting" a lot of ads about Top Coat F11. According to the ads, I should throw out all other products and get this stuff. My question is this:
What is one of the best products to use for my bike??? I see many things out there.... F11, Griots, and many I've never heard of. I currently use mequiars products for quite some time. Is there something that works better? What are you guys using??
There was someone, Eagle someone who did a lot of detail work....hoping he reads things on here and can respond. I don't want to spend a ****-ton of money, but I want good quality products that do what they say. I will spend for quality, just don't want hype.
Thanks for any input!

 

I just bought some www.thelastcoat.com and that stuff is insane on paint and chrome. I'm hooked.

 

There's no "one product for all uses" out there. For proper paint care and cleaning you still need a good shampoo/detergent to wash the bike, then a clay bar to remove any impurities before doing any paint correction with a polish or buffing, then finally using a wax/ceramic coating once proper cleaning has been done. F11 Topcoat is just like any other final coating in that it makes cleaning easier by creating a hard thin layer over the clear coat for an ultra smooth surface, thus repelling water and basically rinsing off grime/dirt/bugs without excessive pressure or scrubbing.

 

I've been using a lot of Chemical Guys products. Their wash, wax, and polishing compounds are wonderful to work with. I picked up their Black Magic that I use after polishing (before waxing) that gives the black paint a great shine and deep color.

 

Chemical Guys, Mckees 37, Adams, Pinnacle, Optimum.....look at these brands. If they dont sell it on autogeek, then it is probably not worthy. just my ocd opinion.

 

Autogeek sells top notch stuff. I have spent thousands of dollars with them and have never been disappointed with anything I bought.
Detailed Image is another site that sells top notch stuff.
As for F11, I said my peace about it. No "Pro" detailer would use this stuff.

Don't drink the Kool-Aid

 

I found some great prices on Amazon for Chemical Guys stuff --- Added everything to my subscribe and save for even more discounts!

 

Turtle Wax car wash ��

Turtle wax paste wax

simple easy

 

I will say with all the products i have used, Meg. D155 detail spray is the best. 23-28 bucks a gallon and leaves absolutely no residue or streaks

 

Metal polish - Flitz
I like the S100 stuff especially the wax and engine brite
Leather stuff - Lexol

So much good stuff out there these days, I dont think theres a wrong answer..
