bladerunner 0 Posted June 16, 2011 thats the stuff you use to make your bike shine not the eastern european countrymen,just wondering what people use on their bikes,many years ago i used to use Autoglym http://www.amazon.co.uk/AutoGlym-Super-Resin-Polish-500ml/dp/B0011E06XA/ref=sr_1_3?ie=UTF8&qid=1308240234&sr=8-3 but i didnt like the fact it used to leave chalky residue in the cracks and crevices so i started using Motrax purple helmet polish http://www.sportsbikeshop.co.uk/motorcycle_parts/content_prod/81/2706 trouble is Motrax have gone t*ts up and its getting difficult to get hold of without paying through the nose what with postage and whatever so i need some suggestions.Been thinking about using a clay bar on the Ducati just like the Max power adplescents use like this http://www.amazon.co.uk/Meguiars-Quik-Detailing-System-Starter/dp/B0039O2GJM Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

smudgeandsmear 0 Posted June 16, 2011 use pledge have done for years,then Autoglym for harder wax,and solvol autosol on ally casings etc.if you have trouble with polish building up in cracks,heres a tip Always start in middle of panel with polish so by the time you reach edges theres no over polish left,always put wax on with a damp sponge,it spreads a lot further and thinner.if you do get polish in cracks,use a cocktail stick to clear,hope this helps Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
