Use their polishes, cleaners, wax, soaps.....they have my vote!!! Eaglefan may disagree with me, but it works for me.
Snow this morning.... news said 3", but looks like just a good coating at my place. Shouldn't take much to clean walks and drive. Y'all be careful out there....no slipping and sliding! Lurker out.....
Morning, Denny!
Griot's stuff seems to be pretty good for the results I'm after. I did use the synthetic clay pad to clean the surfaces first, then the stuff that came in the kit. This brought the paint back to life. Amazing.
I'm not after show quality results, but I can see how people can get sucked into it.
For guys like Eaglefan that do it for a living and are after show winning results, there may be better products out there, but for me, Griot's is plenty good enough.

Mornin, Russ. Another unseasonably warm day on tap here to close out November. When are you heading down to The Sisters?

Greg, I had the same problem with the '14 Ultra within a couple thousand miles. I thought the paint on new bike was "soft". 22,000 miles on the black '12 Heritage and I buffed that area only two times. Seemed like I had to do the Ultra every few weeks. I bought some 3M film and covered that area and the top of the saddlebags with it and that solved the problem of scuffing. Could only see a small hairline where film ended on tank.

Bike looks great! That new Sante Fe is a really good looking SUV.
