Default Polishing hard bags

What do you use to polish your hard bags? I'd like to find a product that road dust is not as prone to adhere to as the product that I've used in the past. I'm only looking for improvment, not the impossible.

Thanks in advance to those with useful replies.

LOL!!! I just used some "Meguiar's NXT Generation Tech Wax 2.0"....worked good for shine & super smooth finish but, road dust still adheres!

best I can find is the DDHC formula - don 't drive it and always have a cover on it!! I haven't found anything else but a 2 minute swiffer b4 you ride makes a big difference.

The best I have found is Zaino but it's a lot of work to go through all of the steps to do it right. Meguire's NXT works great for a shine and is easy to use.

You may laff but the best is "All Purpose Pledge" furniture polish.
I use it on top of my regular wax sometimes. It does end up less dusty during the day.

Only sure way to keep it dust free is to keep it covered and never ride it.

Yeah, ....I'm only looking for improvement over the product that I've used in the past. I'm sure that some products have less "static cling" properties than others. Thanks.

Default Zaino

I've never used anything but Zaino on my 08 EG. I never found it hard to apply. There are steps but once you use it, you'll never go back.
