Seems like another rich guy selling expensive products to rich people. Plexus works fine for me. I won't use anything but those 6 dollar terry cloths from MacGuires (sp) though. Best cloths out there. I got 5 of 'em. Def worth it.

I like McGires stuff... it's what I use on my truck... yeah the terry cloths rock... though the way my truck's been getting dents in the parking lot... I may not waist the money on it:cursin:

I like to use Meguiars polishing prods. However on the bike I use Plexus for everyday cleaning.

 

[jeeps84]

Are you striping or just maintaining?

 

[ebbs15]

I wasn't doing anything... I just was looking arround... but what I'm looking for will probably be for maintaining... the bike barely has 600 miles... and was garage kept 24/7 otherwise...

A good coat of wax on the tank will do wonders in preventing those swirl marks.

 

[ebbs15]

personally... I've never had swirl marks on anything I've waxed (insert crude joke here:lol: ) that I've taken my time on... (insert another crude joke here:lol: ) it was only when I rushed it (another crude joke :lol and didn't clean up properly (ok.. last one :lol

 

[jeeps84]

I wasn't referring to a bad wax job. I was talking about the marks some times left after the dry washes in-between full details.

lol... I just was try'n to make a joke... :leaving: :bash:

what kind of wax do you personally use?

 

[Gas Man]

That might be good if you were running a detailing car biz!

not really it's only a 22 oz jar!... yeah they refill it for free... so damn... that must mean it's a $1511 jar with free refils of wax... lol...

I say we pitch in and get a jar... then empty it into tupperware bowls... send it to be refilled... and repeat... sell them on the black market and buy cars/bikes worthy of $1511 wax!:lol:

 

[jeeps84]

what kind of wax do you personally use?

Mcguire's wax and clay bars for the big jobs and S200 for the dry washes. What ever auto soap I find a deal on for wet wash.

 

[ebbs15]

what are the clay bars for? I've seen them but never understood their use:scratch:

Lifted this from another site for accurate info.

Clay is one of the latest and greatest innovations in detailing. The amazing cleaning properties of clay were only discovered in the early nineties, but it has quickly become a favorite among professional detailers, enthusiasts, and collectors.

The creation of today’s clear coat paint finishes necessitated the invention of detailing clay. Airborne contaminants will actually become embedded in the clear coat and washing will not remove them. These contaminants include tree sap, fuel exhaust, rubber particles, bug splatter, hard water deposits, and ordinary dirt. All these things dull your vehicle’s finish and compromise the protection provided by the clear coat.
