How often do you wax your motorcycle??

Am I nuts/crazy or just whacked out??

But everytime it rains (for the day) I sit in my garage and give her a complete wax job.....(I put on my headphones and rock out to led Zeppelin ) I figure that I have approx six-eights coats [or more] of wax on my "Blacky" (that's her name!!)

I thought I over do it. I wax a least once a month, Wash it after every ride and use Mequires Ultimate Detailer in after each wash.

:DI said that to my wife once! Only once!
 
I usually clean, detail, wax after each ride. Hate to leave it dirty.

Often, since I know I'll be doing it again after my next ride, use Meguires Cleaner Wax. Sometimes, I use Liquid Glass just because it's easy to put on / take off or buff.
 
Average about once a month . . .

. . . all year 'round! I ride 110 miles/day min. Mon-Fri. As much as I like to ride a clean and shiny trike, I would much rather be riding than cleaning! If ever I'm faced with making a choice to clean or ride . . . it'll be ride every time!;)

Ride SMART, Ride SAFE . . . but R I D E !

That’s done before the winter rest.

Right now my new hobby is a bug collection. Got many juicers on the windscreen and rear fenders. No one steals a gross bike :D
 
I was just reading a article in Rocket Science Weekly.. And they recommend not waxing a vehicle's surface... In a wind tunnel test conducted at the University of Ohio , The Sandusky campus....Their finding were;



A layer of wax on pigment 'ie paint, Absorbs Sunlight which causes an molecular level of negative drag [Slowdown and extra fuel consumption]...More noticeably in ambient and non-ambient air....And that might be a contributing factor to Climate Change.....

Their conclusion is do not wax your vehicles so as to save the planet...:Shrug:...
 
These things take wax?

The only waxing I've done with the FW is the Ford pickup I waxed coming off the stoplights a couple of weeks ago.

Waxed his ass good... :D

O' know, now I've done it, the whole planet is doomed! :mad::mad: and Trump will be blamed! :blush::blush: just because I waxed my "Blacky" (NOW I'm depressed!) LOL :D

(that was a good come-back by the way :)) I did laugh!

You know Ronnie one day your grandchildren are going to look up at you and ask;

Grandpa, What did you do during the Great Climate Change War?

And all you will be able to say is;' 'I waxed my Bike''....:(....
