I looked at it, but couldn't justify the price. Then I tried chemical guys waterless wash and shine. It works great at cleaning up and shining the whole bike. Great thing is it is only $10 at Walmart.

Same thing. All in one stuff is good if you need a little of everything thats in it.
If you don't need any polishing or filling, try a sealant. Some you put on and buff off, some you wipe on and thats it. I like this kind for bikes If I seal them

There is a new stuff out called Maguires Hydro ceramic spray. I paid $11 for it on detailed image website.
I think it works pretty damn good for 11 bucks.
Go watch some YouTube videos and judge for yourself.

Washing with dawn will only remove very degraded wax. It was what every body thought for a long time until some guys did some testing.
What dawn does is leave a film that inhibits water beading

What has really helped my paint is blow drying after washing it with soap containing wax.

I could be wrong in my calculations but $20 for the Uber will make a total of 5 gallons of waterless wash. Stuff is awesome. My #1A WW and RW concentrate. Echo2 is #1B

@ $200 a gallon, it's way overpriced. I got three 2oz samples for $20 and gave it a try. After it was applied, it looked really good and felt slick. That didn't last long. Water didn't run off like you see in the marketing, and bugs didn't wipe off any easier than before. Griot's Garage speed shine for $35 a gallon and it performs just as well.

I got my order today, tried some out, and I gotta say, it does make things look good! It is very pricy for the small amount that you get, but so far, I Likey.
