Default Best Wax

I recently found a Great wax that really works. I ride a Vivid Black 2012 Tri-Glide Looks really great with a good wash take about 45minutes to wash and dry.This new wax takes about 10 minutes for the whole bike.There is no white residue or streaks and you can touch the paint and no finger prints really makes the paint look deep and is slicker than snot.I don't think you can buy it at just any auto store a frind of mine ordered it on line in gallon jug we split it at a cost around $26.00 should last a long time. go to www.carbrite.com look for Nano Spray Wax .maybe some of you already know about this productand have opioun on it?

Over the years, I'll bet that I've tried 100 different waxes. Somehow, though, I always end up back with Turtle Wax.

Ditto the Turtle Wax. My son gave me a bottle of Turtle Wax Spray on. Spray the bike after washing, and it shines it up while you wipe off the water. Really looks good. Don't really know how long it lasts, but I use it whenever I wash her so I guess it really doesn't make any difference. Use it on paint, plastic and chrome.

I strictly use Zaino products on my Vette and my TriGlide. I swear when they are washed and waxed, the paint is so slick and shiny that it still looks wet.

Going to have to agree with Zaino.
If you clean the old wax off and have it ready to go then apply it correctly it just get better and better with each coat.
When I ordered it I was ready to be let down as I have seen no real difference in any of the products.
I was was not let down by it I am sold on it.
It is not like a wax more like another clear coat that keeps the wet/shinny look

Plus one on this stuff.
I have abused the finish on my trike these last two years, just wiping down with any ole towel at a motel. Always felt the day spent cleaning and wiping was a day I would never get back. Well the day spent with this stuff was worth it. It gets better with each application.
Also picked up a cover for it as it gets dusty in area
