BEST WAX/POLISH

oldbiker · 12-07-2007, 06:37 AM

At one time or another I've used probably 30 different kinds of wax or polish on my bikes. They all do a pretty good job, but most of them don't last. About a year ago I went to a bike show down in Atlanta and watched a guy demonstrate a polish made in Canada called Crystal-Glo. I bought a 8 oz. bottle for about $11.00 and wont use anything else. This stuff really works. If you go to their website you might find it at a local distributor. If you buy it from Canada the shipping cost runs it up to over $18.00 a bottle.

You're supposed to wax these bikes?

Yes, but only use 91+ octane.

Do you have to ever wash them? Mine is a '05 and never gave her a bath yet??

I used to get this at Honda but now it's available from the MFG as well as quite a few other motorcycle shops. I carry a small can and micre fiber cloth in my saddlebag all the time. Here's a link at cruiser customizing.

+1 I like that it is both great at soaking bugs loose on the windshield, as well as working as a polish. Also spray it on my face shield to shed water when it rains. Great product, but sounds like Crystal-Glo must be a good one too. I'll have to give it a try.

Why wash a bike when you can got to a bike show and let some scantly dressed lady wash it for $20.00. Makes for great entertainment

I really like this new Eagle #1 nano wax at wally world, goes on easy wipes off easy with no white build up around emblems at all. leaves the paint slick as glass. Has alot of new research built into it. Check it out. also have nano chrome polish.
