+1 on the Pledge, works great for removing bugs.

 

if you go to the web site Bobistheoilguy.com they have an excellent section on detailing, you will learn a lot.

 

There is no best answer.

 

I use products from Griot's Garage

 

Another + for Meguires. Wash, wax, wheel & tire. But it depends on where you put your gas cap when refueling

I think I've tried 'em all at one point or another. The one I settled on isn't actually a wax. Technically, I believe it is a carbon-based sealant... Liquid Glass auto polish. I have a hard time getting it in California, because it's not CARB (air quality) compliant. I bought 3 cans while on an out-of-state trip. The product is well named. It gives a deep, glass-like shine.

Their pre-cleaner product is awesome too.

 

ZAINO!

It is all I have used for 15 years now. Excellent products. Allot easier to apply than the instructions imply. Cars and Bikes have all used ZAINO.

i've tried Liquid Glass and it's not very good on black paint. if you look close it leaves fine scratchs in the finish. i have some sitting out in thegarage right now. it works good on other colors.

 

this is the truth ! i've been chasing my tail for years looking for the ultimate shine.

 

Me too, with some products from Chemical Guys also.

Griot's 3" random orbital polisher works great for the smaller surfaces on motorcycles.
