I just got my bike painted and will be putting it all back together tonight. Just wondering if anyone has any suggestions on good cleaning products for paint and chrome. I want her to look great all the time and always seem new. Also, are chamois the best for drying?

 

I use RainX carwash with carnuba beads but have heard nothing but good things about the Autodry carwash stuff. Meguairs Gold Class wax, Meguiars Scratch X for the fine swirls you will get over time. IMO a bike dryer is a good investment for drying, got mine on ebay for $15.00.

They make great products, I use the First Finish wax on my bikes and car and it is unbelievable, When I bought it they guy told me to take a ruler and hold it up to my paint and see how far up I could read it in the reflection and then again after applying a coat of wax and he said I should gain at least an inch with each coat and he was right.

I have a Black 2006 HEMI Charger that looks like you can stick your hand into the paint and scratch your nose. I don't sell this stuff or have any attachment to the company in any way, just a very please consumer!!!!!

 

zymol cleaner wax is good stuff rated #1 a little pricey $12.00 to $15.00 but what your paint worth?also i use meguires spray on detailer in between waxes.good for road bugs and such.
good luck with the paint it looks tuff.

 

S100 is great and they make an engine black also which makes the engine look like new.....as for drying i use an electric leaf blower, then go over it with quick detail by maguiars(sp)

 

Ive had great results with Klasse wax and sealant, ive got black paint and Klasses makes it look wet all the time. I only use microfiber towels.

A bottle of this stuff will last you forever.

 

Meguiers Quick Detail, NXT Generation Wax, and a leaf blower.... beauty.

 

Props on the Mequires NXT Wax and Refresher wax......... great stuff and no dust.

S-100 to clean with I guess.. Turtle wax car wash soap does the same thing.

The way I see it, its all about how **** you are going to be about clean, I clean mime when its clean.
I guess im just **** about it, Proud, yea, its either the Harley or the Mustang, if you see it dirty, its either stolen, or Im in the next world.

I've used KIT carnuba wax and have had great results. It's a non-abrasive wax and gives a great shine and it is a soft paste and drys quickly. I had my bike custom painted last year and have had no problems with the KIT.
