Default Zip Wax

With all due respect to the sponsers, I just washed my bike with good old fashioned Turtle Wax Zip Wash and wiped with a cloth, and the bike has never looked better. Super gloss, no scrathes, beautifull.

I have tried the Mr. Clean, (crap, you can have mine for free), meguires etc.

I'm an **** jerk, who expects the best, and the old Turtle Wax does it.

Tough to be more **** than me when it comes to cleaning a bike, not that I'm challenging you to a clean off or anything

The Mr. clean is okay, on a bagger I still use my dryer, just too many places for non deonized water to hide and drip. I guess if I used just the deionized to wash and rinse it would be better.

As for wax, I've tried a lot of them! Right now, I'm still impressed with Klasse All-in-one and their glaze, but to be honest, I just got turned on the Glare and so far so good, real nice product!

Love my Mr Clean used it again today. Wax with Mcguires gold and like that also. Tried S100 and didn't like it at all. Use Wenol on the chrome and works fantastic. Mothers also works good as well. Hey you can mail the Mr Clean to me any time you want to get rid of it.

I like Turtle Wax as well. But after Zip wax, I use Mother's Carnuba wax and for in between times, I use "The Bom" <www.bikecleaner.com> Spray on a rag and wipe. Very nice.

No matter what you use, I say Kudos to all of you for keeping the bikes clean.
