Maguires wax, one is a cleaner wax and one is a canubba wax. Your bikes black use the cleaner wax first if you want a nice mirror finish.

Mother's California Gold 100% Carnuba is the best wax I've ever used. Makes my bike shine for a long time.

Use Zaino Brothers wax, or waxes that do not have the owrd "Polish" or "Cleaner" in the name. These are the ones that will have abrasives in them.

Zaino is the best
