Default best wax?

how are you guys cleaning your bikes? ive only owned white trucks and now ive got a black bike and wow! coming from white this thing is a dust magnet (although it looks really good all cleaned up) but i was wondering do you guys just use car wax to wax 'em up or is there a specific bike wax i should look into?
thanks

If you can't get Honda cleaner from the dealer, then try Liquid Performance....also sold at the dealer.





I use the Liquid Performance daily to wipe my bike down before I ride, and for the once a month wash and wax, I use Adam's Butter Wax, followed by a spritz or two of Adam's Brilliant Spray Glaze. Meguires chrome polish for the wheels.

I did mine up with mcguire's wax. I did it the first time with mcguire's 3 stage cleaner, polish, and wax. Now, I use mcguire's cleaner wax to keep it clean.

Mind you I have this stuff around from when I was showing my car all the time and I have well water at my house and it is a pain to wash my bike. The cleaner wax makes it really easy to deal with.

Also look into Plastic Polish. Mothers and mcguire's both make one. They will clean up yellowing form the sun and help prevent it. Very good stuff.

Mcguire's NXT sythetic wax all the way. my rr is black and nothing I've seen works as well. This stuff leaves NO powder residue at all and takes 10 mintues to use. reflects like a mother!

McGuire's has never let me down. I use the #7 car polish. I also use this wax when my CD's and DVD's get scratched. They skipped, I buff it with McGuires, then they work again, the stuff is great. (plus is has a picture of a pretty Viper on the front, so it has to be good, lol.)

I've always used Meguires #20 polymer sealant. It's a pain in the butt to wax on and buff off, but it lasts so much longer than any other wax I've use. Works on the bike and clear coats on cars. Have to use some heavy duty stuff living in a city with nasty paint pealing smog.
