I use McGuires Carnuba Wax about two to three times a year after I wash the bike. Other than that I just go over the entire bike with McGuires Spray Detailer after it cools, every time I ride. the less water that hits it the better.

Go to www.auto-ease.com and check out the Liquid Tech products, the Finish First is unbelievable stuff.

I use the Liquid Tech products, both Finish First and Finish fast . Have since about '92 when I first saw it at Daytona. I hose wash and blow dry...no wiping with anything until I use either Finish First or Finish Fast.

I've tried all the others, and then went to Zanio. Wish I had found out about Zanio yrs ago.
