I asked a dealer once what they use to shine up their bikes in the showroom, I was surprised when they told me they use Pledge furniture polish. I have used it ever since. If you get the orange scented one your bike will even smell nice.
"meguiars tech 2.0 or ultimate wax"- if you're talking about both Meguiar's products, they're both synthetic waxes and will be very similar in performance...
I learned a lot about paint care & detailing when I had a black Corvette that I used to show once in awhile....
Most good detailers will tell you the process is more important than the product.
If you compare apples to apples these days, similar products will do about the same. There really isn't a "magic bullet" product that is significantly better than the others.... Natural waxes, like carnuba, look great but need to be renewed frequently. Synthetic waxes, usually called sealants, will last longer. The different formulations will make one easier to apply than another. Just decide what kind of product you want, pick an application type (paste, liquid, or spray) and you're on your way...
If you just follow a couple basic rules, clean before polishing and/or waxing and use microfiber towels, you'll be treating your paint well.... You can keep your bike looking great without the need to constantly go through a complete detail process...
my 2 cents....

Meguiar's Tech Wax 2.0 is my go-to wax. It's the EASIEST wax I ever used. Apply to the whole car, go drinking and come back hours later and it polishes off easy. Got a small fortune of Zaino and Ammo products from years past. Tech Wax 2.0 out shines them and lasts longer.
ETA Zaino taught me to use 100% cotton towels for wax/polish operations. Turn it FREQUENTLY.

tech 2.0 has been my go to wax to for alot of years now, but after looking at Mequiar's web page it sounds like the ultimate wax is a better product. i wish they had small samples of their waxs to try out.

which to use ? i've been using the tech 2.0and really like it ,but the ultamate wax is looking better all the time. opinions ?
Ultimate wax hands down. Why? 2 reasons. First, It last longer than 2.0. Second and MOST important. Ultimate wax can be used with no fear what so ever when getting it on plastic surfaces on your car, truck motorcycle etc. As a matter of fact if read up on it. your can use it to make your plastic surfaces look better. Ask me how I know I have done my share of detailing and have used numerous waxes. There are many good ones but few if any that can be safely used on or near black plastic surfaces.
