Zaino Brothers for paint, Liquid Glass for the chrome. Zaino is The Best wax I have ever used, and I once used Zymol wax that ran me just under $100 a jar and had to be kept in the fridge.

Liquid glass will polish the paint. The more coats the better, deeper shine!! I am not sure without looking at the bottle but, I think that it contains no wax.

$100 is nothing for Zymol, it was a very good wax, but it was hard to store, expensive and hard to take off the bike.

You could always get this wax, at least the jar is refillable for life;


Zymol Royale - refillable for life!
Concours Judges around the world recognize that the final step in preparing the world's most beautiful automobiles is using the very best cleaners, waxes and conditioners to preserve and bring out the very best in their finishes. Royale tops the list of the most luxurious waxes available anywhere in the world. Royale contains 70% No. 1 White Carnauba by volume. Royale is presented in a faceted solid crystal box containing two 22 oz. chambers filled with a wax suitable for all paint types and colors. The 44 oz. container is refillable for life at no additional charge.
Application of Royale begins by placing a very small amount (about the size of a pea or small lima bean) in the palm of your hand. Then rub your palms together until the wax becomes slippery. The warmth of your hands helps to "melt" the microscopic particles of carnauba to make it spreadable. Apply it with your palm in long strokes covering an area approximately 2' X 2'. Let it stand for only a minute or two. DO NOT ALLOW IT TO DRY. Then lay a Zymol Microwipe, folded to an 8" X 8" square, on the surface and slowly with moderate pressure, push the towel away from you. This will allow excess wax to be moved forward until it is ready to bond to the paint. Mist with cold water and buff lightly again after a couple of hours to create the perfect shine.

Retail Price: $7,583.00 Manufacturer: Zymol Model: 12001

Just go here to order, http://www.emmonscoachworks.com/ecom...atalogset.html
