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?

Re: Best non-abrasive polish?
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. |

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  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.
