I use turtle wax chrome polish if I need to. I ususally dont use it though, because I have found on my bike that if I wipe it down once a week with some S-100 (use in between washes) it usually stays pretty good. I used to use the Honda spray cleaner (which I though was the best) but they stoped selling it for a while in CA because of the EPA and the propellant in the can.

I just priced the turtle wax Ice, man that stuff is expensive. $17.99/bottle. I'll stick with the harley glaze/gloss and the S100 Detailer. Thanks for the info guys.

For chrome polish, I've been using Blue Magic. *shrug* seems to get everything off including the tar

I have used the ICE Wax liquid on my bike and car. It doesn't leave any white residue and doesn't attract much dust. You can pretty much wipe it on everything. But I like it more as a detailer not as a wax (clarification using the wax to detail not the Ice detailer). It's like putting armor all on everything and wiping it off. Is true the shine is not long lasting.

For the cars that have black plastic as part of the body its a god send. No I have not tried Zaino.

I use ProtectAll in the can I got stealership. I met a guy with a 10 yr old bike that looked brand new and it is what he uses. I have not had to actually "wax" anything yet.

Harley gloss is great, and smells damn good too (I use it as after shave)

Try Meguiar's quick detail (the purple bottle) better results than Harley Gloss, leaves a thicker coat but it don't gets and stick in between things like a heavier wax.

Mother's works pretty good, and is fairly inexpensive.
Wal Mart sells it.

I used Ice and at first it seemed ok but then it did not seem to last any longer than the Maguires quick detailer. Works good on the cage.
I do agree Ice leaves no residue or polish dust. Every now and then I use the "Once a Year" polish and "Scratch Dr." on the Black paint.
For chrome, most of the time it's just glass cleaner.

I use Mother's Chrome Polish about once a month. for quick detailing, Someone turned me onto a concoction of half Zaino Z6 detail spray and half distilled water-wipe on/off with a microfiber. I use it on my chrome on the bike and wheels on my car.....cleans it up fast and really shines due to the Zaino.....

I tried the S100 as a detailer and thought it left a somewhat dull finish compared to my usual method.....

I prefer the Zaino myself. It was made for black paint. It ain't cheap, but it's worth it.
