Favorite Wax/Polish..
What do you guys/gals swear by? I used to use Zaino but its hard to mix small amts just for the bike. Now I put down a coat of polymer such as New Finish for toughness, then coat over that with Zymol liquid wax for a mirror shine. Usually use Crystal Glo acrylic base on the chrome,it leaves a very hard, clear finish. This holds up well even when washed using Dawn liquid soap, that stuff really cuts to the bone.

I've used Zaino for a couple of years after trying just about every thing else. For me, there is nothing that applies as easily, lasts as long or has a better shine and depth as Zaino. For my bike, I use the new All in One Zaino - no mixing required. Highly recommended.

RE: Favorite Wax/Polish..
I use the HD spray cleaner/polish. It works good but I don't have any other experience. My buddy has a showey bike, "Dragon Fly" paint, and he uses the HD stuff too, but he found a fellow at bike night with a great looking shine and asked him what he used and he pulled out a can of Pledge!
Neither my buddy nor I have used the recommendation.

I have been using the Maguires NXT paste wax, works great, no powder residue, and lasts a long time.
I didn't know Zaino had a 1 step wax...........have to look into that for sure.

Thanks, if Zaino has an "All in One" out now I'm gonna find it and use it. My truck always looked wet when I used Zaino, it ain't no joke.

If you're like me, you'll find the All in One is slightly more difficult than the Z5 or Z2 to apply, but still easier than just about any thing else available.
BTW, I've also tried the new Z-CS Clear Seal. Wasn't crazy about it...
Oh, and the Z8 ROCKS!
Good luck!!
