This stuff is pretty good. I wouldn't classify it as a wax, more of a polish...
It also is awesome because it leaves no white residue behind, and if you use it on black plastic, it acts like some of that tire wet and makes it nice and shiny.

First: MASSIVE drool factor on that FZ1 :drool:
Second: DAYUM! I don't think I've ever seen a polish that works on the painted bits AND the black plastic bits. I think I'll have to go out looking for this stuff tomorrow. Where'd you find this stuff?!
Third: Did I mention that's a kickass FZ1? :drool:

You can't polish dirt.

I did use a bottle of Rain-x spray on wax sunday and its decent. I'm not a big fan of spray on waxes.

The previous owner of my bike put pretty much the same Micron high mount on. I haven't had any desire to change it. It sounds good without being stupid loud like some of the GP style dumps people put on now. It looks good on the VFR.

Yea me too... my gf bought it for her bike because of all the black pieces and we weren't exactly amazed either... Of course, I normally use Maguires Tech wax which isn't exactly cheap.

That stuff works great imho. It doesn't seem to last very long (I have the original older stuff and not the 2.0) but it sure puts a hell of a shine on the Vette. I haven't tried it on the bikes but may have too.

It works good for the bikes but can be a pain to apply compared to other waxes. imho
