What detailing products do you use ?

#1 Unread post by xsyamahadg »

What detailing products do you guys use? I'm using Pig Snot and Mothers products at the moment, but I'm always looking for new and good products to use on my old bikes. Tell us what you use for that great show class shine. XS

Dri Wash 'N' Guard.

If your paint is old and oxidized, use Dri Wash's "Oxy Gone". Works like a charm.

I also use Mothers products. I haven't found any better ones ,but I have used NU Finish for many years and found it to be very good also. You can see all of Mothers products as well as a forum on their web site.

I find the dark green spots work the best.

I use Mother's and Meguire's. I use the Meguire's Cleaner Wax once a year and Meguire's Gold Class Polish twice a year. I love the shine you get from it. I also use Meguire's Car Wash. It's good stuff too. And then ofcourse Mother's aluminum polish.

Powersports cleaner and sometimes Honda Brite. Both get the gunk off with minimal scrubbing. Gosh Darn I am lazy.
