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.

Can't believe nobody mentioned "Ultra Luster". This stuff is great, and easy to use, and you don't need anything else.

Meguire's products and Porter-Cable dual action polisher. Don't forget to use a cleaner wax and clay bar twice a year on the paint, plus some color-x to take the minor swirl marks out. #26 yellow wax (100% carnuba) and some NXT wax makes the paint look really DEEP and finsihes it off. Maintenance becomes a good washing and quick detailer.
