Can you wax the fairing and saddle bags since they are made out of plastic or fiberglass?

I've spent a TON of money trying to keep my Vivid Black showroom fresh.&nbsp\\; The best wax/polish in the business that is priced within reason for the consumer is by far ZAINO.

My bike has only been cleaned with micro towels and detailer spray but was already showing some markings.&nbsp\\;Picked up some McGuire's Nxt Gen Tech Wax and it worked well. Looks much better. Available at many stores.

May&nbsp\\;give Adams products a try.

+1

I have only used new microfiber on my bike with meguiars soaps and harley gloss cleaner, the POS still has a ton of fine scratches on it. I think there isnt much you can do but get it painted to another color or realize outside of a few days after a complete detailing it will have fine scratches.
