Checked it out on Amazon, think I'll pass, way too much volume and the price, gulp. If they just had a small trial bottle of the stuff......

I read a article in The Rocket Science Weekly [December 2018] Magazine that a well waxed Trike/Motorcycle traveling though ambient and or non-ambient air , The wax will cause a molecular level of drag, And in turn have a negative effect on Speed and MPG...As opposed to an un-waxed Trike/Motorcycle ....Just something to ponder as you are waxing a Trike/Motorcycle ........

Good show, I knew there had to be a reason I was procrastinating on that wax job.

Ouch! All these "NO WAX" posts do hurt, cause I true'ly love to wax "Blacky" when ever it rains all day long....As I mentioned earlier, into the garage I go, on goes the head phones, out comes the can of wax, and in the other hand goes my polishing cloth, and I then go to work, wax'in & polish'n....It give me great pride, and accomplishment (thank God for spell check here) to see my bike all clean and ready for it's next riding adventure.................

Hmmmmmmmmmmmmm, interesting "thought" here, So now if wax is not the correct "stuff" to use any more, then what's the best stuff, for us conscious, folks that loves a nice clean shiny, no rust vehicle(s)?????????

Ronnie, I used this by itself on my Harley and some professional detail guys at my dealership said they'd never seen a paint job that shined like mine did. On the Wing I'll use this with Zaino's Gloss Enhancer and it shines like a mofo. Yes, a little more labor intensive but it lasts a long time and looks beautiful!

Thanks Tom,

I'm definitely going to look into this product, I myself (and sound like yourself included) love my bike to shine. It's my pride 'n' joy, I've worked many, many years to pay for this bike, it sure'ly didn't come easy that's for sure.. I personally can't see how folks can purchase a bike as expensive as our wings and just let it rot away, without a care, don't change oils/fluids and never wash/wax it... I baby my bike (wife's actually kinda jealous/she claims I treat my bike better then her) Just because I make the wife sleep in the garage, and my bike sleeps in my bedroom..."that doesn't mean that I true'ly love my bike more does it" ????? LOL

{if she just saw what I just posted she'd kick my azz 4 sure}

It wasn't my first choice, And i do miss the Motorcycle feel...But...

The more i drive it the more i like it.....Just with that fat rear tire, In the snow i have to be very careful not to break it loose....:shock:...

I'm still jealous!

Plus wife says: quote: if I get a slingshot, she's gonna leave me, then she say's where are you planning on parking it?? My answer was "perfect" right where your car used to be, before you left me......BANG! I now have a black eye, that was not the answer that I should have said..... LOL...[only kidding here folks]

You aren't far from the truth....The Slingshot takes up so much space , That i had to move my wife's SUV to the spot in the garage where i always parked my Motorcycles and trikes So i can get the Slingshot in without hitting things.....So now she is still mad about moving after 48 years parking in the same spot...:xzqxz:...Go figure :Shrug:...

I've done it, put wax on but leave it till spring. Not much harder to buff … if at all.

Thanks,

I'm going to give this a try during winter hibernation period...Actually what I did was to apply wax to the inside of my top case, and left it there for four months, NO ONE COULD SEE IT THERE, ANYWAYS, and the wiped it off..your right no problem....
