Holy ****! Can I get you to do mine?

If you cant, can you tell me exactly what you did for that shine and in what order? Please?

Just used some "Meguiar's NXT Generation Tech Wax 2.0" (I think thats what its called) for the first time a couple weeks ago & it works really good on my black bike, $15.00 @ Wal Mart. Does'nt look as good as UltraKla$$ic's (HOLLY CHIT!!) but, 1 step, easy on & easy off.

I use Collinite 845 the stuff rocks!

Collinite Liquid Insulator Wax was originally developed for power companies to protect against high voltage power failure, electrical fires, and explosions. If it stands up to these conditions, imagine how well it will protect your vehicle’s paint.

Any ONE product isn't going to really get you where you want to be. And sorry, pledge fans, it might be a okay "in-between" product, but it's no substitute for a carnauba based wax. Some of the synthetics out there nowadays are pretty good, too.

Wash
Clay bar
Rubbing compound
Swirl remover
Polish
Wax

Obviously you don't have to do ALL of these each time you wash...

Especially good on windshields too!

This thing has a clear coat on it? Sure scratches easy.

I met and rode with a forum member last Sunday. His bike looked like UltraKla$$ic's. I ask him what he was using. He said it was Race Glaze. He buy's it where he gets his Redline oil. racerpartswholesale.com
I ordered two bottles and was told it was on back order. It must be good if it was sold out. I had been using Meguiar's cleaner wax and Meguiar's Carnuba after. Mine didn't shine near like his.

+1 on the prep
Don't fear the claybar it makes a world of difference. Then I compound it with meguiars ultimate compound (unbelievable stuff). Next is a coat of mequiars show car glaze, and then finish with liquid glass.
