Zaino is awesome stuff...best I've used but expensive...
By the time I order Z-5 and Z-2 and the wash (excellent product(s))
and the hardener and then the sealer and shipping etc etc...I've shelled out
about 80-100 dollars. And as soon as my personal economy picks up...I'll be
getting some more.
However, the meguires NXT is REeeall close, comes in one bottle and is only
14 bucks at wally world. So the shine you see now is meguires...I will say that
I also alternate occaionally with tutlewax ice (liquid) but not real sure I see a
benifit, although my helmet seems to like it.
Yes I also have a can of lemon pledge on my cleaning shelf, along with about
20 other cleaning products (use it on the rims). I did try it on the bike but
again, saw no additional "shine" and with lack of UV protection, I wasn't very
comfortable and followed it with about 2 coats of wax.
My own personal opinion...IF there is no UV protection in pledge, and it's a daily
driver and spends time in the sun...your paint WILL FADE. There are many
products and waxes out there DESIGNED for shine and PROTECTION of automotive
and motorcycle finishes, that have everybit of shine to them...pick one.
If you wheel you bike out for a jaunt once a month to local winghouse and put
a couple thousand miles a year...not much Sun time, it's no big deal...pledge is
probably fine...otherwise ??? good luck, it's your bike.
I will say I take my bike in to get tires they can't believe it's 4 years old with
36,000 miles.
The rims are stock, those are just decals I got the idea and link (ebay) from
another board member. I like the look....
