Wax on or wax off

[SonicDeathMonkey]

When you wax your bodywork, do you leave it on or take it off? Just did mine today, and I thought what others do.

what's wax?

Honda polish

Meguiar's clear coat safe paste wax...................lightly rub it on the ENTIRE bike, then buff 'er off with a Turkish towel. Once a week, whether it needs it or not!

#1--also touch up after each ride with honda polish. I get massive bug splats (size & quantity) and I find they come off easy if you don't let them set too long.

Dust it off with a "california duster" and honda polish and or plexus almost daily.... cant stand to ride dirty!

Wax, maybe 2-3 times per year. Meguiars NXT (spray), after every ride.

Zaino is great stuff.

Some of the guys on the board turned me on to it. It's freakish...and yes I wax it with the plastics on. (microfiber towels only)

All right last one (I'm such a photo-Ho)

Zaino is a gift from God.

Long live Zaino.

Good things take time.

Oh and I always wax everything with the plastics on. Sometimes I take fairings off when I claybar, but that's it.

Forgot to mention. Microfiber cloth all the way. I have a box of Zaino products in my basement. Good Stuff. Just too many steps. Nice job Justyntym.

Go to www.griotsgarage.com and try this amazing stuff out. Zaino is not bad, but it can't hold a candle to Griot's Best of Show wax as far as depth and clarity.

I recomend the Z-5 pro (for any swirls or blemishes) and the Z2 Pro is the bomb. Get the Flash cure accelerator (wax hardener and makes it much less time consuming). And absolutely get the Ultra gloss enhancer spray Z-6 (very very good stuff) and the car wash is excellent to.

Wash bike and mix the cure accelerator in the supplied bottle with Z-5. Three coats with the z-6 spray enhancer in between. That does a good job reducing any scratches, swirls or blemishes.

Then I believe it's a 3 coat maximum for 24 hours (wax has got to finish curing). Sooo...day 2, 3 coats of Z-2 with Z-6 in between.

Initial cost is quite expensive but your waxing such a small area (not like a big car) gas tank, tail, and fairing...it should last a long time, and as you can see...it works awesome.
