    6 has been gathering dust in the garage , for (2) bike payments now, as I did mods and wait for the never ending Wi winter to go away. This weekend I plan to do a clean up/detail & wax. I will go w/ the 50% ammonia water recommendation. then go over it w/Meguiars X2.0 fine scratch stuff and then use the Liquid Gold.

    My question is do you guys have any favorite applicator for the liquid gold or any preferred micro fiber cloths ? Thanks in advance.

    Any micro-fiber cloth will do! Make sure you follow the application directions. Wipe on/wipe off. Do not use any circular motion when applying the LG. When it hazes, it's ready for removal. IMHO, a supper soft cotton towel works best for haze removal. Make sure you allpy the same number of coats to the windshield/painted surfaces

    In Tampa still, found LG at advanced auto parts. Had a 30% on line coupon. Put first coat on, what a difference! I'll tell you what, it's slicker than a hot iron on a pair or polyester slacks from the 70's.

    Tomorrow we ride back to Weston, ordered my baggershield from Pearson!

    Happy Easter everyone from Florida! For you Yankees that means let riding season start!

    Did 4 coats. Not perfect but looks plenty good enough for me. Feels like a finish was "built up" and some protection was achieved. No paint came off on the rag while applying. My paint looked pretty good to begin with and minor flaws don't bother me so this a great solution for no clearcoat.
    Baking in the sun now for a few hours then going for a ride.
    Thanks again for the tip. Nice product.
