I want to take detailing up a notch. I live in the desert so I'm thinking synthetic. Looking for recommendations for products that will stand up to bike sitting in sun all day, I ride to work, with tempertures up to 105. If its going to be hotter than that I don't ride. Looking at the Zaino line or Meguiar's or...?
Synthetic is definitely the way to go, since I daily drive my bike as well I use their liquid paint sealant. It doesnt just kind of disappear after a little while like wax, handles direct sun and heat much better than wax. I usually put on two coats and it lasts for months even after riding in rain the water beads up nice and rolls right off, so the bike actually stays cleaner.
