Can do the bike in 10 minutes (Electraglide) and it will remove bugs, etc. Works on chrome and no scratches when applied with a microfiber. $6-$7 bucks per aerosol can that seems to last forever.
+1. this is also known by its original name of hondabrite.... but don't mistake it for that now. hondabrite has gone green and doesn't work near as well.

Menzerna FMJ polish. Awsome stuff. Found out about it on Hawg Wash.com Not cheap though, but neither was the bike.

Can't believe nobody mentioned "Ultra Luster". This stuff is great, and easy to use, and you don't need anything else.

Meguire's products and Porter-Cable dual action polisher. Don't forget to use a cleaner wax and clay bar twice a year on the paint, plus some color-x to take the minor swirl marks out. #26 yellow wax (100% carnuba) and some NXT wax makes the paint look really DEEP and finsihes it off. Maintenance becomes a good washing and quick detailer.

+1 on the Pinnacle. That stuff is the best I have ever seen on only black or red paint. The PC 7424 is the sh!t though.....for the money thats the best dam polisher I have ever put my hands on.....by a long shot!

Check out any of these sites for some fantastic tips on polishing and products.
