It all looks the same with 4 months of road grime on it ;) These waxes are amazing, but they're really for the compulsive cleaner who doesn't ride or drive in the rain (or for show use or detailing contests). IMO. Until combined with a dirt-repelling forcefield they're a waste of time and money for most riders.

:shock: Okay, ya beat me! :lol:

Had a look at the website and will probably try it out for use on the car as well.

After many years of sampling various polishes, the 2 I have found to be the best are:
CarPlan - Triple Wax and Turtle Wax - Gloss Gaurd.

Whenever I buy a car I give it the works, starting with Auto Glym Renovater which has a slight cut (although any would do) then a coat of the Triple Wax and then the Gloss Gaurd to seal it all in.
After that all it needs is a wash and chamois once a week with Turtle Wash and Wax.

I have images now of the next post from Bikeage detailing his injuries (all minor of course) after flying off his bike at the first corner - slipping off his shiney seat and unable to hold onto his shiney grips! :wink:

And as for the brake discs - it would be the glossiest looking wreck that's for sure! :lol:

Strange but a hint of familiarity strikes me over your comment! :? :)

you get free refills, so if you polished a couple of times a day (or you have a valeting seervice) it could work out to be cheaper than Turtle Wax in the very long run! :wink:

Maybe if we all chip in a couple of quid and then ask for 200 refills? :lol:

The polish and wax market is massive - theres so many products out there its easy to get confused with what does what. I used MER polish on the bike previously but its silicone based, whereas the more expensive stuff is carnauba wax based. A lot of people rate the Meguiars range and its something ive considered to use on the Mazda too as its black and the shine is immense when its freshly polished - its just keeping black clean which is the problem.

Ideally it should be polished then followed with wax to get a seal. Meguiars also do a 3 step range which is supposed to be the bees knees. Theyre reasonably priced too.

I vividly remember a former boss who picked his ears with a biro and inspected it before screwing into a ball and throwing it across the room.

That settles it, Mr Sheen it is. :wink: :lol:
