New Finish on cars works great. Have not tried on a bike yet.

Turtle Wax Ice works well but has absolutely NO cleaning agents. If you don't apply it to a perfectly clean finish you will seal the dirt in. Personally, I prefer Adam's products. They work great and you can buy large size refill jugs, so you are not constatly paying for those little 16oz bottles each time.

ok don't laugh...

I've only had my cycle little over 2 months and haven't polished
her yet. When I would wax my vehicles I would usually go with
Meguiers but would sometimes try new things. I have great eye-
sight but honestly I can't generally tell the difference from one
polish to the next. As long as it looks good when I'm done then
it did it's job. I usually also run my hand across the finish to
make sure it feels smooth to the touch... but again, as far as
looks go, I normally can't tell the difference.

So far all I've used is that Harley product for instant shine
without having to wash. I've just been careful to saturate area
before wiping it clean. Looks good to me and feels smooth to the
touch.

Her faded 87' Corvette came out looking like glass. I'll have to try it on my bike (and the lemon pledge too).

Thanks for the compliment on the scoot.
Actually I too use Mequiars for a lasting shine.
I do use the Pledge for a quick once over if there are any water spots after hitting a quick showe once the bike blow dries.
Used it on my 06 XL1200R for around 2 years in said scenario and it always worked great. Paint and chrome was shining like new when I sold it.
It does attract bees and fruit flies however!!!

Thanks, I'll try that out after drying it the next time I get around to actually washing it sometime soon...

I use Meguires quick wax for the wax job, and most of the time after I wash my bike I'll use Meguires quick detailer. But the wax is nice cuz you can wax and wipe your bike down after washing all in one step. Then take a clean dry cloth after a few minutes and wipe it all down.

Liquid Glass is as good as I have found. Its easy to put on and has a good shine that lasts. It also does a good job on the chrome too
