Default Paint/Wax Polisher???
I can't believe I'm asking this. But how many of you guys polish the paint on your bikes? Anyone use one of these or similar polishers? Or is elbow grease still the preferred method.

I use Mequires three step when I get a chance, which was last year... It works great, and the wax shines up real nice even after a while.

Just wash the bike using Harley liquid soap, dry, and hit it with Harley Gloss. Quick, easy, and a totally awesome shine.
