cleaning/polishing products
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!

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.

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
