Turtle Wax Ice works well. Dries clear so leaves no white residue which makes it good for black paint also.

That's a big reason I have the Matte finish, so I don't have to wax it, to make it looks good. Water and a towel, is plenty.

I thought so too, but I have at least 3 slight discoloration spots around the bike...smh

Ya, my "tank" has shiney spots on both sides, where my knees rub on it. And the front has a few small chips in the paint , from stones and crud thrown up by other vehicles. But, who cares. I bought it to ride, not polish, and look at it. I'm averaging over 900 miles a week, for 21 weeks in a row this season. And the best part of that is, not even 1 mile, is for work transportation, as I'm retired! On my third rear tire this summer, now. Fun fun!

Hi Steve. I think you probably ride longer on your tires than me. I swap them when I get near the tread wear bumps. I have had a good summer of riding. Also have 3000 miles on my Yamaha FZ-07, and many off road miles on the Dual- sport. I've been gone more this summer, than at home. Just the way it should be!
I am running OEM Stones. According to my tire pressure gauges, I try to run the rear at 41-42. I just put the 3rd tire on, so it is pretty new.
Hope you Florida riders had no damage in the recent storms. I am coming south this winter for some riding. Maybe we can meet somewhere.

Klasse All-In-One followed by Klasse Sealant Glaze.

Been using them on my cars and my bikes for well over twenty years. Slightly tricky to apply, but it lasts forever and is damned near bulletproof.
