Harley glaze out shines anything. Agood polish is Zymol which you can buy at auto zone or pep boys. I dont use wax as it builds up and does not shine very well. It can also yellow a surface. If I were to use wax it would be Pinnacle,Zymol,macguires or Mothers. Stay away from the fake stuff and make sure you have a good carnuba and beeswax combination if you must use wax. Most people use wax out of habit. Polish is much better.S100 is also good.

actually now adays with clear coat polish is a better choice (Meguiars and such) but wax won't hurt it.

Astroshield. It is a glaze and a not a wax. Leaves a glossy finish and road dirt and bugs come right off in the car wash. Hard to find, but I think most truckstops carry it.
