I use it on both my bikes and love it. I will wax them a couple times a year and then only use Johnson lemon pledge the rest of the time. Bikes always look great. The black box is a pain to use, but it really covers flaws in your paint and minor scratches and swirle marks.

I would say its alright also, I called Turtle wax and they said to use the wax twice a year or so than use the detail spray in between waxes. The detail spray goes on easy and comes off easy with a nice shine but it dosen't hold up very well but if your going to use the detail wax after every wash it really dosen't have to hold up very good.

It does hide the swirl marks pretty well. I'll use it again.
