I work in detail so I always blow the water out of all nooks and crannies. I also use tire shine :-p I have been skeptic about it and scolded for it. But its never been a problem. I put it on a rag and brush on a thin layer. Say what you will, it's all good :-p For washing or waxing I recommend anything with 'Nano' in it. We used to carry Car-Brite producs and a year ago when they told me to use nano-wax I was just yea ok... I will never use another wax. It goes on kind of like 'ice' from turtle wax. It's quite runny and smooth and just great! lol. granted my bike has been buffed but i think these pics speak for themselves...




This is also after sitting all winter. It was just washed with nano car wash from Eagle One. Not waxed for six months.
