I just tried Top Coat F11. Brought out a deeper shine. Then got caught in the rain and the usual road grime didn't stick as much to the chrome or the paint.

I have been using wizards line of pasts waxes and spray waxes. I have cases of every wax and polish out there, but I never used anything this good before.

I only modify the oem function of the part(s) with better built parts....like wipers on a car ...the moco will use the cheapest **** they can get their hands on without breaking the bank AND works .

Yes, what you posted I totally agree.
The install is simple as anything with my backing plate. I didn't install breather tubes, (no where to do it)? I do all the crap including running the oil critically low, filling to full, no difference. Bottom line is my stock friends and all others who I ride with giggle behind my back on why I'd change out the cleaner for zero performance gains. When I do a gas stop I grab a paper towel and give the case a quick wipe before the next stop so hopefully it doesn't look so bad.
This started immediately, no change since installing a canned map using a Powervision

I am a fan of the Mother's wax line. And a few of their other products like aluminum and mag polish. The showtime is great to spot clean and the clay bar is a must if you use pure wax.

I agree 110Percent. From the days when sportsters ruled with straight pipes and drag bars, I've kept all my bikes as close to stock as possible. In 40+ years I got stuck on the road twice, once with a dead battery and the most recent inner cam bearing failure at 70K on my ultra.

Took it for the first ride since installing the new LRS 10" flat top elite, noticable difference from the stock 12" that was on it.
