Best Wax / Polish?
 
Unfortunately I can't search for the words which or wax so can't see any old threads on this but what wax / polish do you guys use on your bike?

I use turtle wax, glazes really nicely and easy to buff off / leaves a good finish but it has one major annoyance and that's the fact it's white paste so leaves a residue, not much of an issue with a car because of the size of the panels but a bike is more fiddly and there's places it can get stuck!

Are there any waxes which don't have a pasty residue? like clear ones?

Autoglym - all of their cleaning stuff is outstanding! May cost a few extra quid, but very much worth it!

+1, i normally get Autoglym Super Resin Polish when you buy a bike trader 'goody bag' at bike events, like Northwich Thundersprint, for a £1.

Autoglym Super Resin polish is very good, as is their Utra Deep Shine polish. Meguiars also gets a +1, but whichever of those three I use I finish off with Autoglym Ultra Gloss Protection. Looks like water, dries to a haze and buffs off to leave a fabulous shine. It's best to leave it on for at least a couple of hours if you can before removing.

For a quick polish inbetween polishing I don't think you can beat Crystal Glo spray polish. It's brilliant for visors, too.
