Protect All shines like crazy and is easy on, easy off. Paint, chrome, leather, and windshield.

Mike, check out www.eshine.ca for supplies.
they are here in Ontario and I got my porter cable from them at a great price.

I use Klasse products followed up with P21S wax

No such thing as a "once a year polish". Many make that claim but none can back it up. I've tried them all and they all seem to be good, just not "once a year" good. Simplest to use is Original Spray Cleaner And Polish from Next Dimension. Can do the bike in 10 minutes (Electraglide) and it will remove bugs, etc. Works on chrome and no scratches when applied with a microfiber. $6-$7 bucks per aerosol can that seems to last forever.

I don't. I only washed it once in the 2.5 years I've owned it. Just not my thing. When it gets tore down over winter I'll be sure to clean it well.

I used to all the time, but I really don't think my 02 Ultra has EVER been waxed. I guess it's about time that I get on that little job. Thanks for reminding me by the way!
