Default TopCoat Wax

What is the general opinion of TopCoat Wax.
I've done research and haven't seen a lot of negative feedback on this.
I do know at one point someone pointed out that if it doesn't wash off, don't use it. Not sure I understand that.

Any input on this topic?
If so, what wax do people here use?

I love riding - but the constant washing waxing is getting hard on the back.

BTW: I own a 2016 Road Glide Ultra
LOVE THAT BIKE!

I know that it's not classified as a wax. It's a ceramic finishing product.

Never let washing and waxing interfere with my riding. Dirty bike is a well rode bike. LOL

I've used a lot of products over the years, I think topcoat might be one of the best. Yeah it's $60.

One gallon for $150. $50 less than what they want for it on the Top Coat site.

Just applied it on my bike yesterday, easy to apply with the spray bottle, will see how well it "works" over time. Leaves a nice shine!

Exact same story here. Yesterday was washing day. After the ride and cool down of course, and with a beer or three. Shine is great. Time will tell how it holds up. Definitely wasn't as troublesome as some have indicated, (with streaks), for me - easy on, easy off.

I use Mothers spray on liquid wax. Spray on wipe off. No rubbing and buffing, no white wax in spots you miss. When not in a hurry, use mothers carnuba wax. Both do an excellent job.
