    Default Favorite wax or polish application

    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...

    Hey Fuzzy... that's what we've been using on all our bikes for years also.

    There's probably been some new stuff on the market by now - just wondered what else might be out there that people really like.

    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.

    +1 on the Original Bike Spirits / Honda Sprayer Cleaner / Wax. Been using it for years on all my bikes. Best stuff I have found and only $5.50 a can.

    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.

    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...
