I also use either Mother's or Meguire's Quick Detail spray for light clean ups. For wax, I use Pinnacle Liquid Souveran carnuba wax. I use the same thing on my wife's black car and it shines great. Bugs and other crud wipes right off too.
After a polish the chrome (if needed), I put a coat of wax on the chrome too. Gives a super shine and some protection. I've found it protects pretty well. Windex does work well, but will remove any wax, etc due to the ammonia.
I use the same products (mostly Pinnacle) on the bike as I do on everything else in the garage. Quality products does make the difference. Spend a little extra and get decent micro fiber towels, good application pads, and good sponges/brushes.

I never thought I'd say it, but walgreens brand 'nice' lemon furniture polish (like the old lemon pledge) does an amazing job on my black paint. Not a substitute for a good wash and wax, but a good quick shine. When I get serious, I'm really digging the turtle wax black box stuff...

I'm new, but I'm only seeing one thread in the detailing section. Are my settings messed up or is that all there is?

here's a link of a lot of products with reviews to them, its the best see all in ONE page that I've found over the years to help pick what to use/ where on your bike.

Look down under the thread list when you enter the forum. There is a setting to display threads from different dates all the way back to the beginning.
