The other point is just to say it is done. It's not made up. This topic really bothers you.

You think that’s the point I’m missing. So you don’t know. Got it
I could care less what you do and how you do it. **** info was posted and I called it out. That’s the point you are missing
You do you

Riding a motorcycle is hazardous to the paint and chrome.

22 year old OEM paint living with Pledge.

Now I realize a detailer can really do it much better.

Lots of people have done it. Not like bikes blew up. No one is claiming best way. Just something you can do

You have wanted to much effort on this. It upsets you to much.

Yes, very well put 'Riding a motorcycle is hazardous to the paint and chrome.'

My real truely only concern is (well was) skin and bone.

At the end of the day, It's not the wax, nor loud exhaust or even the horn. It's this..

Polish in the detailing world is used to remove swirls and random scratches from the clear coat. Wax is the last stage product to protect the paint. The polish therefore will not be on the bike as that would be cleaned off with a cleanser product before applying the wax.

The wax can be removed by using a higher concentrate of a pre wash shampoo. Typically 4% mix is used but 10% will wash the wax off.
