if your not machine polishing you are leaving a whole lot on the table.

As far as “Shine”, some LSP leave a hard candy look and some leave a deep look. Ive tried a ton of them, some on the same paint. Polish Angel Cosmic V2 and their High Gloss spray are tops.
There is a whole new world out there for detailing besides walmart and the auto parts store.
If you like it keep at it.

I just looked at that Polish Angel Cosmic V2 and that stuff loos amazing. Looks to be easy on and off.
Can you use it over a clean and waxed bike or must you strip what you are ready have on it.

Paint needs to be bare. It should be machine polished also to get the "Best" out of it.

If you decide to go with cosmic, you need to follow their procedure for applying it.I used their primer polish. They have a spray you can use instead also

Definitely on the list. I've currently got a few of the sprays-- High Gloss, Cosmic Spritz, Presto Detail and Rapidwaxx. All equally impressive.
