    Meguiars Ultimate Compound as per instructions on the bottle followed by Meguiars Ultimate Paste Carnauba Wax. I like to apply 4 coats on mine when I do it. Takes me about 30 minutes per coat. Apply very lightly for best results. Did mine today as the weather was less than ideal for a ride with a cold north wind and rain today.
    Do this a couple of times a yer and our paint will look amazing.
    Perhaps I am fortunate but my paint is no worse than any other black bike ve ever owned. Can't speak for the red.

    It oughta be a crime to have this much fun on a motorcycle.

    I've heard good things about the Liquid Glass. Stopped at every parts store I could find in Missoula and Kalispell on the weekend and couldn't find anyone who sells it.

    Cool Wax on, wax off..

    Thanks Guys,

    Really appreciate all the advice and tips, there is nothing like a beautiful shiny bike, and by the time I finish that's what she'll will be Beagle eBay is where I found my Liquid Glass, there are some good deals on at the moment, and I think on the Best Polish and Wax thread there are links to the kits and offers on at the moment.

    It is sold here in Phoenix Arizona at Auto Zone $34.99 for the can. I have not bought it yet as my paint does not seem as bad as others. I am using a Turtle wax and have no problems except some light scratches in what would be the gas tank area from my knees but hardly noticable. You can also get it on-line , just google Liquid Glass, it will come up.
