Default Best high-gloss motorcycle polish
Have any recommendations about what is the best high-gloss polish to use? What about this new "nano" polish that claims to use nanotechnology? Thanks.

Nanotech polish? Best I've used is Meguiar's. I can't imagine how nanotech could be used in polish, whatever.

Classic Carnuba based polish is still the best. And as much as we wash and polish them. You don't need all of the new high tech stuff.

Am sure many have their own choices and opinions, but I have found nothing that beats Meguiars .. But always looking just in case...
