FastWax is a carnuba based aerosol similar to S100 'Detail & Wax.' I'm always looking for "waterless washes" and I like they way they lift off the dirt and polish at the same time. Another is the pump style "Surf City" I found over at Wally World last month .Same concept but in a liquid.

We used to sell both Fast Wax and S100 back when we had the bike shop and they both sold for about $6.95 a can. Boy have times changed! But they're all good products.

Your bike looks great!

Good morning Mike, Stiggy. Might have to try that stuff, My paint on the outside corners of my inner fairing is getting faded, splotchy. Did you use it on your motor?

Anything with silicone will bring back faded flat black to a point. "Back to Black: (MacGuires?) works pretty good IMO. The nice thing about all these products is that you can use them on pretty much anything, but with the wax content in S100 and Fast Wax, you wouldn't want t aim it at a black powder coat motor, but anything with silicone is fine. ( a little over spray is no problem though.)

Morning Coastie, Stiggy:
No I did not use it on the motor, just the chrome, paint and windshield.
Thanks Stiggy.

Man your bike still looks new. I do have the Harley engine stuff. Just need to get around to detail the bike. Too darn busy lately what with helping Sugar start her new store and all (Quilting and Sewing Machines).

Mornin' Coastie, 'Can, & Stiggy. Woke up over an hour ago, lady's making too much noise to go back to sleep. Too early for this this time zone... At least the coffee's good this morning, used the good beans.

Wind is roaring in the trees, like the sound, but there'll be dead cottonwood branches all over the place. Wish I could cut em all down, but they'd have to be nibbled down to keep from taking down powerlines, phone lines, cable lines, couple houses, and my shed. Too big for me to take on, too expensive to have someone else do it. One of these days, one of em will come down in a storm, then insurance will take care of it. Biggest one did several years ago, and branches just touched a few things without breaking anything, real lucky, sort of, hours with a chain saw....

Ever look under the saddlebags when you're cleaning the bike?



Hope I can keep it cleaner than the previous owner; this is before I did any cleaning after I got it. Bags come off easy on mine. Probably wouldn't pull the supports and muffler, though.

Here is the quilt that our friends from Arizona (actually snowbirds from all over the country) made for us when we vacated the Park







Every name on it was either stitched by that person, or they did sewing on it, or donated money or material to it's making.
