NXT wax
nano wax for the chrome (leaves no residue on black engine parts)
nanowax soap for quick cleanings (comes in concentrate. mix in a spray bottle and use microfiber)
Looking for suggestions on best swirl remover. Have a couple very fine swirl marks you can see when the sun is just right. Not sure how they got there but I want them gone.

Well, it put two coats of the synthetic ice on it, and then the detailer, and when I am done it looks tremendous. But, not for long as you know what I am saying having vivid black.

Over the last 3 years, I have pretty much bought a ton of different waxes... they have come along way from the birth of "nu finish". A few different products, Turtle wax, Meguires, some other walmart stuff... etc. I pretty much have settled on Ice. I have a vivid black bike and it works great.
Here is my process.
1) Dish soap to clean the the bike.
2) Ice Synthetic Spray Wax.
3) Ice Synthetic Spray Wax for a second time.
4) Rinse with cold water.
5) Ice Spray Detailer.
What is your favorite wax and how do you put it on?

I've wasted so much cash on wax, just by looking at the packaging. Use it once or twice, then find a new "Wonder Wax". If your product is so great, sell me a single use size for my bike. If its the greatest, I'll buy more. If not, I've wasted less cash and have little to store forever, or throw away. My newest bike is 8 years old, not pristine, no showbike, just a rider that needs maintainence for the paint and chrome. Plus, it has to be easy to use, I'm a rider, not a professional detailer.

What about something like Simple Green or other multipurpose cleaner?

The only time you want to use dishwashing soap on paint is when you want to strip the wax prior to clay bar treatment, after which you should immediately polish/wax paint.
