What's your favorite wax or polish application you like to use on your trike?

Is it a general all-in-one cleaner/shine or a separate application after a water-wash of the trike?

Just curious what everybody is using...
 

Hey Fuzzy... that's what we've been using on all our bikes for years also.

There's probably been some new stuff on the market by now - just wondered what else might be out there that people really like.
 
Original Bike Spirits.. Spray cleaner and Wax.. Once known as Honda spray Wax.. ThumbUp
 
I used Glare (polish/sealer) shortly after taking delivery of the trike and it has lasted through our harsh summers very well, for touch up between washes I'm using Sta-bil 303 speed detailer which works great on chrome also. Totally satisfied with both products.

+1 on the Original Bike Spirits / Honda Sprayer Cleaner / Wax. Been using it for years on all my bikes. Best stuff I have found and only $5.50 a can.

Been using this for awhile,but seems like if ya don't keep it shook up it gets greasy. Anyone else noticed that?

Yep.. But being a rattle ball can painter i shake any cans [Among other things], Whether or not they need shaking... ;)
 
S100 detail + wax, spray can, good stuff and easy to use. How many different detailers, cleaners and wax do most of us have on the shelf? Probably more than we can ever use. I've pretty much settled on the S100 product, take one can of the stuff on the long or short rides, works good.
 
I just started thinking..[I really gotta stop doing that] Anyway being that i use the Honda wax on my Tri-Glide' So should i also have been using Honda oil 20/40 Synthetic in my engine.... Right now i use the Harley 20/50 full Synthetic...;)
 
This subject is about as subjective as what engine oil is best, so here's my $.02 on it:
Star Brite Premium Marine Polish with PTEF. Stuff leaves a slippery feel to the surface like no other polish I've ever seen or used.
In between washings, Meguiar's Ultimate Quik Detailer gets the job done nicely...ThumbUp
 
I have been using FW1 High Performance Cleaning Wax.

It is a waterless wash and wax product. Cleans the plastic (windshield too), rims, mirrors, and chrome. Basically everything one can see on the trike.

Some guy was selling at a convenience store one day and I bought 2 cans. It is spray on, wipe on and wipe off at the same time. Easy Peasy. Has not filmed up my windshield on 2 of my trikes that I have owned.

I use Meguiar's product on everything I have. I have been showing cars, trucks and bikes for the last 30 years and their wax and detailer can't be beat. I carried the detailer with me on our western trip this summer(our 28 days) and it worked great for me.
 
I was using S100 Detail and Wax. I just switch over to Star Brite's Ultimate Bike Guard with PTEF(Telfon). A real time saver.
