Lamonster Again

I would like a wax that could be used on combination surfaces. The 2012 RSS that I have is shiny red (can am red) in parts, but also has a duller black finish as well. It is not flat black, but more like a carbon color or something. I want something that I can use on the entire bike. As for detailers, I have that covered, I am looking for wax.

His "Black Trim Renew" works great on all the black trim parts on my F3L:yes::yes::yes:

Used too

I recently discovered Plexus plastic cleaner and it is outright amazing. Got a small fan at the Dragon store when down at the Smokies rally and it blew my mind. Got home and ordered a 6 pack online. It's not cheap, but I've never seen a better product for cleaning my Spyders..the windshield in particular.

From my experience with Plexus it is a superior product. Pretty expensive. It was designed for the airplane industry. That being said, I find Lamonster's product to be absolutely just as fine a product and it is about 25% more economical! And it doesn't have such a strong chemical smell.

Every spring I wash Spyder with Mcguiar's Gold Class shampoo. Then I clay to surface followed by Mcguiar's Ultimate Liquid wax. I clean the upholstery with the same leather/vinyl cleaner/conditioner I use on the Jeep leather upholstery. Black plastic is enhanced and protected with Armor All. Tires are dressed with Mcguiar's Endurance. Wind screen is cleaned with water and Norwex Window cleaning towel then protected with light coat of McKee's 37 Carnuba wax.

Usually wash the bike down at least once a week with Gold Class Shampoo as it doesn't remove wax. On extended road trips, I wipe it down every morning with McKee's 37 Rinseless Wash mixed with water as a detailer and wiped down with a microfiber waffle weave towel.

Gota look good if wife is riding along.

Lemon pledge is very popular with the Gold Wing group.

I use a mini Big Foot random orbital with 4" pads to polish the panels, using Menzerna polishes. I then hit it with a coat of Souveran 100% carnauba wax.....Pearl deserves the best !

Their product for removing swirls are good.:thumbup:

http://www.glare.com/

am a big fan of the Glare polish.
Have been using it for a couple years. Follow the instructions, you'll get great results.
It's available on ebay or as Yamaha Glare or Honda Glare at the respective dealerships. Use it twice a year on our cars and am very pleased with the results. It isn't cheap but it's worth it.

For general touch up and windshield cleaning (bugs and all) I have been using "Original Bike Spirits Cleaner and Polish" with a Microsoft towel. Use on all of the bike except seat and flat paint. Use it after every ride for the bugs.

I am a Mequiars guy, have been since I was 18 (a terribly long time ago). I have this intern guy working for us here in the marketing department, and he has a detail business. So last summer I had him do my Dodge RAM with a ceramic coating. It was nice, not sure if its really a wax replacment, but its nice.

Anyway, he taught me about microfiber cloths, and the difference between the good ones and the cheap ones. So now I use the good ones (no seams, rough edges etc) on my Honda, the truck, the guitars... etc. Its really eliminated a lot of my swirl problems. The old days of using t-shirts and socks are gone.

Once in a blue moon, I'll wax it like my car: clay bar, polish, detail and glaze. Most of the time Lemon Pledge works great.

Go on AutoGeek or Autopia forums - you'll learn tons about products and techniques to keep your rides shiny and slick.

I just used Top Coat F11. Easy to use and only takes less than 2 OZ per coat. Can use on everything.
