Best non-abrasive polish?
 
Want to give the panels a VERY shiny look but apart from some furniture polish I don't know what else to use. Anyone got any ideas?

Polish is abrasive that's how it achieves its gloss, wax is applied after to seal and allow it to be buffed.

Look on cleanyourcar.com, buy a light polish which is a cutter but will give a nice shine, then get a decent wax to apply after, I highly recommend zymol carbon wax, not cheap at around £55 but lasts for years as you only need a very small amount of it.

Nowhere near as expensive as the Zymol Royale Glaze.

Have you checked out the ingredients?
I'm off to tesco to get myself some melons, I'll give the bike a rub down with them and then use some wilkos car wax :D

As to the op's op, I'm certain I saw some fella with a can of pledge and a rag, giving a motogp bike a rub down a few years ago. If its good enough for them. . . .

We use pledge Mr Sheen and a few other similar stuff on our race bikes. Comes up a treat.

Cover your car in this stuff instead and you can buy yourself another bike with the leftover!:thumbsup:
