I've recently got my bike (07 pointy) back from repairs.
Every last piece has been resprayed and it looks absolutely wonderful and it also feels so smooth and new! I want to maintain that finish, so I've been asking round about the best sort of products to invest in - Apparently Autoglym have the best range of polish, wax and car cleaning products etc. Can anyone recommend a certain product from autoglym or a combination etc? I'm thinking of getting the shampoo and the super resin polish |

Any good make should be fine. I like the Autoglym range and use it though I flinch a bit at the price. Shampoo is not so critical just don't use washing up liquid.

I was told by a valeter to always use carnuba wax. It isn't abrasive & does a wonderful job

A polish is a mild abrasive. It will, over time, haze the finish.
Get a carnuba wax and a top coat sealant. Meguires carnuba wax in a tin is very good, followed by poor boys exp sealant. Only wash with micro fibre cloths, sponges ruin paint. Dry with another cloth. Www.performancemotorcare.com is a very good site. Pete ![]() |

Autoglym is in reality a fairly cheap brand although mote than good enough for most. As said earlier meguairs is good as is dodo juice and zymol. Other brands are also available.!
