Default Re: Best Wax / Polish?

I just use a good quality chamois to dry it down. Never seen any streaks on mine.....and I can be quite particular about it being shiny shiny.

No matter what I have used over the years, it has always left some residue behind, no matter how much rinsing or wiping after....I'm a bit anal about it. Baby shampoo is superb it drys with nothing left behind, so much less hassle.
Got some SDoc100 that I used a few weeks back, didn't really notice what that left behind, as its not summer, and obviously didn't dry in an instant in the sun. I was quite impressed with the muck it got off in those difficult to clean areas like swingarm and back wheel

I think I'm going to have to use a clear wax, with all the decals and contours wax residue gets stuck everywhere! Zymol auto wash is brilliant stuff though!
