Ditto - ICE works great & doesn't leave behind the white powdery mess. My bike's Vivid Black too and it really brings out the shine...

Zaino will not leave white marks on black rubber either...
but whatever you choose to use, just use it OFTEN!

and like has been said in previous posts.... It's ALL in the PREP!
wax alone isn't going to make the surface look like a mirror.

i use meguiar's tech wax 2.0. Cheap enough, easy to use, and a little goes a long way. Very pleased with the results.

Damn man do you ever have time to ride that thing?

(Protect All) Sold at Walmart in the RV section. Goes on everything from plastic to paint to seat without leaving the dreaded white crap. Only thing Mustang recommends for their seats. has UV blocker and loaded with carnauba wax. As the bottle says: polishes, waxes, treats, protects. Best kept secret out there and have been using it for years.
