Default RE: Crystal Glow

I'm REALLY sold on the Crystal Glow. I spray the wheels and frame with Simple Green and let it set for a few minutes and then just hose it off to get some of the harder road grime off. Then I pour a few ounces of Crystal Glow in a hot buckett of water. I use a good wash mit and go over the whole bike. Even the chrome looks great! Shines like a new penny. I use a large shammie to wipe off the excess water. I then use my leaf blower to get most of the rest of the water. The leather cleaner is really good too and does not leave a oily film. I clean the windshield and then use Pleage spraw wax on the windshield. Works great. I use Mother's Butter Wax for the finial coat. I have a 99 Ultra Classic. The left and right saddle bags have just two pins that pull out and you can pull the bags right out and get to the rear wheel a lot better. If needed I use Pig Spit for some of the chrome and the dashboard.
I use the Harley S100 for the engine to shine up the black areas.

Hey Steele do you have the name of the local dealer that sells this? Maybe a person can order from them and get it faster. Thanks

I've found Crystal Glow at a indy dealer down the street from me.

Throttle Up
5030 W Peoria Ave 107
Glendale, AZ 85302 - 1710


Crystal Glo was a sponsor on this site at one point.

I love the product, but I will not deal direct with them again. Can get it for the same price less the shipping/handling and 1 month + shipping time.

I bought two bottles of the Crystal-Glo polish from an online dealer and received it in 4 days. Now that I have it and read about it, I have questions for those who already use it. It says that it "deposits a super protective acrylic coat". Does this "coat" build up? It also says "Not washed off by soaps or detergents" How do you remove it if you need to?

Acrylics do build up but after two coats you will not gain anything. One coat then another to make sure all areas are covered.
To remove use a 50/50 mix of water and ISO alcohol or paint cleaner or polish.
Acrylics (after curing) can be topped with carnauba's, so a couples of coats of that through the winter will get you till spring time.
