Wax
Just curious as what is the best wax to use on my 2016 RT-S
-
I use protect all. It can be applied to anything (plastic, rubber, painted surfaces), goes on quick and with a quick hand buff shines up nicely. I use it on everything actually, Spyder, camper, truck, tractor, etc.

Meguiars Cleaner Wax. Contains a VERY mild polishing media (helps to remove bug guts, tar, etc and remove swirl marks and such) as well as the wax. Easy to apply, easy to wipe off, lasts pretty well, doesn't cost too much.

Turtle wax ICE
I use Turtle wax ICE spray. It can be used on ANY part of the bike. It lasts for up to a year. Watch the tests on Youtube. Beautiful shine! Removes bugs. Wont turn your textured plastic white. Easy to carry with you on the spyder. Actually works better than Mother's Detail Spray, which surprised me. Comparable to Top Coat F11. No residue if you miss wiping some off. ICE is my favorite HANDS DOWN! Many Harley owners have used it for years. Once I tried it, I was hooked. Available everywhere too!

That is a mistake. I would never use ANY of the products that are only available online. The waxes and polishes from the big brands in stores, are tested and guaranteed not to harm your paint. The stuff you buy online is only backed by HYPE, and inflated prices. There is no way I would put someone's snake oil on my paint. When it messes up your paint, then what? There is no company to contact in most cases, or they blame it on you. If your paying $20, $30, or more for a spray bottle of car wax/polish online, then your getting taken. And if it says Harley-Davidson, Honda, or any store's name on the bottle, then its just a re-bottled cheaper polish/wax with an inflated price.

Turtle wax Ice spray wax is one of the highest rated spray waxes. Not only is it easy to use, but I have noticed that it repels dust also. I have recently ridden 400 miles since applying it and the bike shows no signs of dust on it anywhere. If you want a paste wax, then Mother's Carnauba Cleaner wax provides and incredible shine, but dont get it on textured plastic. It does attract dust though, so your beautiful shine is short lived. If money is no object, then Pinnacle carnauba wax is the top performer, but also attract dust. Yes, wax can come in a spray. ICE is a synthetic car wax/polish, but works fantastic. Watch the youtube tests for the wax you are considering. Some of the tests are real eye openers

I love it. I Use it on lot of things, including Spyders and tonneau cover. (instead of tonneau tonic from Extang) Only drawback, it washes off with water..... but it is an excellent uv blocker. Tonneau cover lasted 7 years, and dash of truck like new after 12 years.
