what keeps your Busa shiny?

[BUSAFETT]

I also seem to have trouble keeping my bike nice and shiny. I use Mother's caranuba wax and cleaner(with a rag), but it never seems to give the bike a lasting shine. What do you guys use?

zymol.... this stuff is great. one coat about once a month and a few over winter with all the plastics off the bike to really get in all the tough to reach spots. after using this the bugs and water marks just melt off with a warm rag.

Zaino 3 in 1 wax..I dont like those spray detailers they just dont give it that mirror shine...i have an 02 with original paint and you can see your reflection in the fairings like a mirror

And do all of you do these applications by hand or with a buffer?

don't use a buffer it may slip away on you like it did with me. i now have 2 small dents in the tank. i didn't learn the 1st time.

i use meguires ntx works well.

Meguiar's Gold paste, microfibers, and a fair amount of elbow grease. Wax the front (nose, fender, fairing) 2 or 3 times as much as the rest, try to keep the constant onslaught of bug guts at bay.

wax by hand,,too easy to burn thru with a buffer if you dont know what your doing...only takes like 15min by hand,I have about 20 coats on my bike,wax after aech ride

All i uses. New finish 2001 (outdated name? Maybe. It should be changed to new finish 2020 or something like that cause its such a great product,, ya know? No waxing for a whole year! It works to!) cause its such a quality product. Sometimes i use mothers cleaner wax and a buffer when i have to clean the paint. Then its on with the new finish. Trust me its the s#!t!

Mcguire,s cleaner wax here.

 

[bigoltool]

Mothers Carnauba and then I wipe it down with Lemon Pledge every other ride or so. Easy and repels dust!
