Crystal-glo motorcycle polish.

For the woman; how about a salt or sugar scrub for when she showers (lavender is a nice scent)

For the bike I like Plexus plastic polish...most of my bike is plastice except for the tank and the Crystal Glo does work well on that.

I like a nice shiny bike and so far, Crystal Glo has worked great for me. Because it's not a wax, you can use it on pretty much every type of surface on your bike. There's no annoying "wax dust" left on your bike and it's super easy to use.

I use Pig Snot and Mothers products...can't beat em! Plexus is the best product I have ever used on the windshield, it says it's safe to use on all painted plastics.

I spray WD40 on the wife once a week to clean her up and S100 Total Cycle Cleaner and then S100 wax on the bike. Wife always smells good after too.

Plexus did great on my scuffed-up Givi hardcases.

I guess I'll find out how tough a job it is to shine up my bike in the next week or so. I'm taking it to a car wash that specializes in auto and motorcycle detailing. The owner said he would look after my bike himself, (he has a Triumph 595 and from what I've heard he keeps it all "spit 'n polish" shiny.)

I guess I'll also find out how rich I have to be to be able to afford this service. I just don't have the time to do a complete job that the bike needs, and it really needs a good polish job.

Hi Dr - If you don't mind let us know how you make out, I'm in Coquitlam as well and it sounds like a place I could use.
