What wax do you use
I just read a thread about getting polish on the black cases. Brought a question to my head, What wax does everyone use and how many times do you shine your bikes a year?
I normally use turtle wax "ice"2 or 3 times a year. I use the harley quick wash to clean the road grime off each time I wash the bike.
Every winter when I don't ride for awhile I take everything off,( chrome parts and covers) and polish the hec out of them then put them back on.
Believe it or not, I kinda like washin my bike, it gives me a little therapy, not near as much as ridin tho.....

Liquid Glass. Twice a year will do it, could get away with once if you wanted to. For guys that have been avoiding it for a few years it does an awesome job of removing oxidation layer. Goes on easy, comes off easier. I put it on in the garage then let it bake outside long enough to have a beverage or 2.
Follow the directions on can about temperature, it will leave swirl marks (they come out with a damp cloth) if its too cold out.

You'll probably get as many different answers as people posting. A lot of good products out there . I use the Zaino system and man it works good. Just spent a day totally detailing my 95 Nostalgia and now I will just do a quick detail spray every once in a while. Has that deep wet look and slick as hell. Makes bugs and other junk easier to wash off.
