ORIGINAL: brohrs

Use Zaino products. First the wash and then their Zaino #2 polish which is liquid glass. Dust wont stick to it and it makes your paint look like its wet all the time. Unblieveable product.
Hmm, you use #2 without putting on a coat of #1 first? I put my first coat of Zaino on a week or two ago, though my process was to first wash it, and then I went over the painted surfaces with a clay bar (just to be certain), then put on theZ1 followed by the Z2. Then let it sit overnight and wipe off the wax the next day. Then hit it with the Z6, and use the Z6 on it every now and then just to gloss it up. In between Z6 applications I dust off the bike with a California Duster.

I have to say, with the limited painted surface area on my bike, this process is a LOT quicker on my Sportster than it was on my car. I'm going to put on another coat of Zaino this weekend (while also waxing the battery/oil cover that I forgot to wax the last time).
