I had been using Maquiers for as long as I can remember....till I find out about this stuff.

Is it expensive, without a doubt although you can buy a "Honda" branded bottle of the same stuff for about half the price (see link below).

Is it the best by a mile....IMHO yes.

Review here - http://www.webbikeworld.com/r2/glare...are-polish.htm
Manufacturers site here - http://www.autopolish.net/
Buy it for about half price here - http://www.parkeryamaha.com/index.as...p;ProdID=29301

FYI, i do not have any financial stake in the product or any of the sites above...just trying to spread the word on what I believe is the best polish I have ever seen or used.

It looks like you can't get the Zaino shine for less than a hundred bucks. They link each of their products to their other products and if you follow the directions you end up using half a dozen different bottles of their stuff.

Wags1, I've been using this stuff for a while and it's great. Never knew they re-packaged it under Honda and sold it cheaper. Doesn't seem to make sense that you'd sell your brand out like that. You're sure it's the same stuff?

I use McGuire's polish and then follow that up with NXT wax. The surface is extremely slick afterwards.....

There have been several threads on the Zanio system and I am currently using their product on my bike. I am right in the middle of it now. So far really nice. It is covering those fine swirls and looks like a mirror. I like it.

I've found the McGuiar's and Turtle products to be hard to remove, leave residue and poor gloss. I've gone back again and again to Zymol wax. It's high-quality, low-abrasive, leaves no residue, and isn 't $100.00. Afterward, I use distilled-water in a spray bottle. Buff that light mist out and you are done my friend.

Petemac, Yep, exactly the same stuff with a different label. Doesn't make any sense to me either. Only thing I can figger is that Honda was able to negotiate some serious discount from Glare by buying a boatload of the stuff.

Zaino products for me.. I think it's squeezed from the butts of 50 mature minks just to get 4oz of the stuff... Guess that's why it's so expensive!

What is the best wax to use on an Ultra?
you MUST use the Harley wax for Ultra's. Using any other brand wax, or even Harely's Classic wax or even worse their Standard wax will void your warranty ! ! ! ! !
