Default Wash/Wax advice?

Hi All-

I am in the process of deciding whether or not to start a new business manufacturing and marketing cleaning and detailing products specifically for the motorcycle market. I was hoping that some of the people on the forum might be willing to take a short survey so I can make some decisions about the viability of the project. The survey is online and asks about how you wash your bikes and what you use. The survey takes about 3-4 minutes to complete. If you fill out the form, I'll send you a sample of one of our products as a thank you.

The survey is located at:

http://www.bostonsoapworks.com/

BTW, your information will not be sold or used for any purpose other than out research. I promise you won't be getting any calls at dinnertime from someone selling time-shares!

Thanks very much!

SpringerGlen

I did your survey, and thought later that the number 1 thing I would pay for is a soap that doesn't have to be dried. Water spots really **** me off, but a compressor isn't always available. I do a lot of washing when I am on the road, and a quick wash and go would be worth the money.
