one step favorite

[penzdude]

anybody have a "one step" favorite here? not one of the clean, wax, and seal type things, but a one step product that does a fine job with minimal effort? i have been using liquid turtle wax on my harley and always get comments on how pretty and shiny it is, but i was curious as too what you guys are using? thanks for any replies.

This is my current favorite: Klasse All-In-One, followed by Klasse High Gloss Sealant Glaze. And if that's not shiny enough for ya', put a coat of plain carnuba (i.e. not the stuff that cleans and waxes) on top.

I use the Honda Spray Cleaner And Polish too. Its about the best for cleaning and leaving a protective shine that I've used. I also like Protect-All 6-in-1. On a Zaino-ed finish I use their Z-6 spray detailer but would not hesitate to use the Honda polish, doubt it will affect the Z's coating. I have been using Eagle one Wax-As-You-Dry recently on a conventional wax finish. Seems to add some pop to the already waxed surface. I wouldn't use it in place of a good wax job though, doesn't seem durable enough for that.

I've tried a bunch of stuff out there.
I haven't tried the BriteSide stuff yet, but I'd be interested in hearing from people that have used it *AND* the Honda stuff.

Lately I've been using the Honda stuff. It seems to work "better" than my previous all-time favorite, Plexus. The Honda stuff seems to have more waxy stuff in it, but otherwise they are very very close. I would be hard pressed to pick between them, because at first I didn't like the Honda stuff nearly as much. It seems to take more work to get shine, but it shines a little better. It's hard to say.

However, for quick stuff, I don't think Plexus can be beat.

I use honda spray polish, its a great quick detailer. I just used zaino on my bike yesterday and it looks great. Hopefully the honda spray will not remove the zaino.

I very seldom do a one step wax job. But, when I do, I use Poorboy's World Polish with Carnauba or Mother's Carnauba Cleaner Wax. Both products work very well to clean and protect the surface and give a very good shine. Ease of use easily goes to Poorboy's, but Mother's is easily obtained at your local parts store.

Ditto on Scotts reply.

Personally, I like Einstett Glanz wax or Klasse for synthetic, and Mother's Hot Wheels for carnuba. Hot Wheels is a carnuba/synthetic hybrid that looks very good and seems more durable than a pure carnuba. Eagle One Nanowax, Meguiars NXT or the Mother's Cleaner Wax are all reasonable options as well. I also use the Eagle One Wax-as-u-Dry and feel like it is a complimentary product.

Nothing of Quality comes without effort IMO,one-step products only cause finish`s to clogg and dull out requireing even more effortand $$$ to correct later on.
Use a stout mix of DAWN and wash finish at least twice.
Then use a claybar of your choice and "PLAIN WATER"as the lube for the claybar. Using detail sprays for lube only fills the pores in the finish preventing your wax or polymer product from bonding like they should. Its like popping a zit and then rubbing it back into your skin.
Prep work is well worth the extended effort when the ease of maintence is the reward.
