Looking for suggestions on best swirl remover. Have a couple very fine swirl marks you can see when the sun is just right. Not sure how they got there but I want them gone.
I use Meguires Scratch X 2.0

Well, it put two coats of the synthetic ice on it, and then the detailer, and when I am done it looks tremendous. But, not for long as you know what I am saying having vivid black.

Here is my process.
1) Dish soap to clean the the bike.
2) Ice Synthetic Spray Wax.
3) Ice Synthetic Spray Wax for a second time.
4) Rinse with cold water.
5) Ice Spray Detailer.

What is your favorite wax and how do you put it on?
I've always heard that dish soap will remove your wax so if you're waxing after every wash then I guess it's is OK. Otherwise I think most any car wash soap would be better. However, we all have our own way of doing these things and if someone wants to use a brillo pad then have at it.

I've wasted so much cash on wax, just by looking at the packaging. Use it once or twice, then find a new "Wonder Wax". If your product is so great, sell me a single use size for my bike. If its the greatest, I'll buy more. If not, I've wasted less cash and have little to store forever, or throw away. My newest bike is 8 years old, not pristine, no showbike, just a rider that needs maintainence for the paint and chrome. Plus, it has to be easy to use, I'm a rider, not a professional detailer.

What about something like Simple Green or other multipurpose cleaner?

Harley Wash & Meiguars Tech Wax 2.0...

Agree w/stopping the dish soap - not good on painted surfaces. Get a good auto wash soap...

The only time you want to use dishwashing soap on paint is when you want to strip the wax prior to clay bar treatment, after which you should immediately polish/wax paint.
