UH, your car has a clear coat. Your bike has a clear coat. Both are eurothane. Is there a reason you wouldn't use a car wax?

I regularly buff my bike's finish. Before this though I use a clay cleaner once a year, maybe twice. After the buff I polish the bike using the buffer and a foam pad. Once this is done I make sure no swirl marks exist. If they do I use a swirl mark remover by hand and then wax using a quality wax.

Meguires is good, but there are better compounds available. The NXT stuff does great, but wears off in a few days.

Try zymol it's expensive compared to some of the other products available, but it's worth it.

Liquid glass is by far the best polish made. you would not beleive the number of people who think my 08 has an custom paint job. but it's hard to find

Any quality automotive wax will work.

Spend a little more money for the better stuff, and it will pay off in the long run.

I've used Liquid Glass for about 20 years myself; best product I've ever used. Pep Boys still carries it on the shelf.

Oh yeah! But I only use it for cleaning in between a good Coat of Mothers Carnauba.

Collinite has been working awesome for me.

Man I love that retro bike look.

watch you dont get a build of of dry white polish round the fairing stickers, it will make them look even more stuck on.

To do the job right it takes a little patience with the details. I use a small rubber blade designed for decals and gaps to remove the residue. Yeah, it takes a while to do all the detailing, but the bike looks great when I'm done.
