Mothers and s100. I have to admit though, I love my Rootbeer because it hides dirt so well.

I've tried about all of them and the best I know of is Glare brand polish. A little pricy but well worth it.

I use Menzerna Blackfire for my polish and Pinnacle's Souveran Paste Wax as my sealer on my car it works great, cant use it on my bike cause matte finish.

I don't think that the best cleaners are neccesary Polish.
Here in England all nationalities do the cleaning. My wife is English and although she don't like it she pretty good at cleaning.
Personally, I wouldn't let anybody clean my bike, Polish or other nationality. (unless if she's fit looking and willing to work in bikini)

For decreasing I use S1000, for a quick wash.....Simple Green and to get those stuck on bugs off the fairing I use Lemon Pledge. The Pledge spray on foam doesn't run off so it soaks/softens the bug goo and wipes right off!
