Do you wax or polish your bike?

I assume eventhough most of the paint is on plastic, that there's still clear coat. . ?

I've Zaino'ed mine several times. I even used claybar on the tank. :bonk:

I guess you see a difference? You put the actual polish on and let it dry, wipe it off, then spray it down with the last stage? (I can't remember the numbers. . Z4, etc)

I spray it with a hose.

It was an everyday thing for me...or right before a ride. Or even a quick shine with Plexus on breaks.

Often. I usually wax once a month and wash at least every two weeks. Honda spray polish works great for quick cleanups and does a really nice "no water" job. I've had no issue waxing the paint on the plastic parts if thats your question. :cheers:

I spray it with a hose. :iagree: :withstupi

Iv never had an issue with auto wax on plastic parts. Except the rough stuff which is self explanatory.

I have always clay bar'ed the tank, did a polish on everything then a wax coat. A much deeper color!

I am in need to wash the bike and the car. Its not raining anymore so its time to give them bath's. I would say once a month I use a very damp cloth around all the plastics. I have a bucket with suds in it at the side After that, Windex seems to work good on marks and the windsheild. If necessary I get the tires good as well. It does the job pretty well.

I haven't had one that is clear coated, except for the tank. BMW all painted parts clear coated :dthumb: Touch up paint kit comes with clear coat tube.

BMW all painted parts clear coated :dthumb: Touch up paint kit comes with clear coat tube. See, I never had a BMW bike or car. From the stone chips. I really don't think any of the plastic parts on my Duc's where clear coated.

I use Honda Cleaner/polish after every ride...I bucket wash it with a quality surfactant about once a month. I detail clean/polish behind the fairings when I change the oil or open/remove air box to do plugs etc. and the chain gets attention about every 500 miles...

All I do is spray it down with windex and wipe it off. :lol:

The clear coat is on the tank only cuz it's metal. I spray it down w/ windex and then go over it w/ Plexus. It took me a lot of experimenting w/ different types of cleaners, waxes, polishes and I finally found a good combination. I usually wax once a month-clean with windex, mcguires tech wax, no plexus. If I use plexus after waxing it leaves a residue because of the wax. But that plexus works the bomb!! I also bought these $5.99 terry cloth also from mcguires (i got three of 'em). These are the best ones out there! I tried the clay bar but I think on plastic you have different results.

All I do is spray it down with windex and wipe it off. :lol: :iagree: and once in a while detail spray.
