Griot's Products
I use Griot's Speed Shine and Best of Show Spray Wax. Takes me all of 5 or so minutes to clean and shine the bike - paint work AND chrome. A bit on the expensive side maybe BUT it does work.

Expensive compared to? Lots more expensive stuff then Griots.
Even better stuff here along with a higher price.

I wouldn't mind getting ahold of a Griot's Garage 3" Mini Random Orbital Polisher but for the amount of times I'd use it I can't justify the $160.oo price tag any more than I could justify paying somebody $200 plus to wash and buff out my my bike. I keep looking for a used one but I guess lots of people buy them but nobody ever sells one and if they do they want damn near new price for it.

I have a Milwaukee 3" Buffer that my wife bought me for my last birthday. I don't know how much it was but it is brilliant when it comes to giving the bike a polish and for doing the headlights on my cars. Well worth the investment and, as you indicate4d, you only have to buy them once

I bought the Griot's 3" buffer kit. In my opinion, it was worth it. I used it right after buying my RGU late last year, and again today to help clean up after my road trip to Glacier National Park. It does a great job, I'm VERY happy with the results considering my meager skills and knowledge of the subject. I'm resisting going down the rabbit hole that detailing can take one, but I plan on expanding my experience because having a clean, good looking ride is important to me. I spend a lot of money on these damn things, I'm gonna take care of it.

My thoughts as well, no matter what detailing gear you buy

Pride in ownership!
I have a Flex 3401 and a G9. I can go from a 5 1/2in pad to a 4in pad with the G9. Its a little more versatile.
The detailing rabbit hole is deep! been in the game a long time, but I look at it that my customers buy my gear

G8 and G9 are both easy to use and very ruggedly built
if i were doing my bike only, i'd jut use the G8, but I got the bug and got a G9 as well...and an assortment of backing plates, and storage bins full of pads
yup....it adds up
