What's your favorite wax or polish application you like to use on your trike?
Is it a general all-in-one cleaner/shine or a separate application after a water-wash of the trike?
Just curious what everybody is using...

I love the Honda Spray cleaner .. got it when I had a Gold Wing and kept using it when I went back to Harleys.

I've tried a lot ... nothing is as consistent and easy.
I used Glare (polish/sealer) shortly after taking delivery of the trike and it has lasted through our harsh summers very well, for touch up between washes I'm using Sta-bil 303 speed detailer which works great on chrome also. Totally satisfied with both products.

Modern Clear coats do not require expensive, time consuming waxes!!!!
S100 detail + wax, spray can, good stuff and easy to use. How many different detailers, cleaners and wax do most of us have on the shelf? Probably more than we can ever use. I've pretty much settled on the S100 product, take one can of the stuff on the long or short rides, works good.
I've been using Griot's Garage Speed Shine. Spray and wipe. Minimal effort. Great results.

If you lend someone $20 and never see that person again, it was probably worth it.
I just started thinking..[I really gotta stop doing that] Anyway being that i use the Honda wax on my Tri-Glide' So should i also have been using Honda oil 20/40 Synthetic in my engine.... Right now i use the Harley 20/50 full Synthetic...![]()

Don't spend money on expensive cleaners and polishes. Any basic furniture polish has the same ingredients and works just as well.
This subject is about as subjective as what engine oil is best, so here's my $.02 on it:
Star Brite Premium Marine Polish with PTEF. Stuff leaves a slippery feel to the surface like no other polish I've ever seen or used.
In between washings, Meguiar's Ultimate Quik Detailer gets the job done nicely...![]()
