Anybody use this wax?

[Bullit]

I was just looking about the net for a great quality car/bike wax and stubled upon this P21S paste wax. It is about $32.00 a tub and appears to be quite good from all accounts. I'm tired of the overpriced crap from local stores and want something that actually works. If anyone has any insight into this, please share it with us.

Nope.

My preferred 'pricey' wax is something called liquid glass. Put it on in the shade, buff it off when dry, then let it bake in the sun. The protection lasts a long time.

Sounds like good stuff, I've been looking for a high-quality carnuba-based wax, which is supposed to be the best. If I can find the Liquid Glass around here, maybe I'll give that a try. I Have been using Megiars products with decent results, but I think there are better thing out there than the Wal-Mart types.

Go to the Zaino Bros. web site. Their stuff has won many comparos and way out-performs any other product I have tried. I have used it extensively on many show cars. Their product offerings are extensive in scope, so read a little about each one to determine which variants are best for you. You can't go wrong with this stuff.

Zaino's great, especially on dark colors and really especially on black.

For carnuba, I like Harly Wax. (Not Harley) Used to be able to find it in stores but now it is mail/net order only.

I can't see spending mega dollars on a wax that is going to be used for a bike that is going to see regular service. I think any good, non abrasive, carnuba will do you just fine. In the course of riding, you're going to eventually pick up some scratches and chips, so unless you going to clean and polish and wax and glaze, and then put your bike in a museum, a good quality wax will probably do you just fine. Just my two cents.

Thanks for the tip on the Zaino wax, looks pretty good! Now I've got some reading to do to see which product to use, before putting the bike in the museum, yeah right! Thanks also to Twodogs as well, I'm goign to check out the Harly stuff as well, but will it make the bike slow and leak oil? LOL!

The bike gets used, no worries there, I just want something worthy of the machine. Here is a picture of the pegs after a few laps around the local track, no trailer queen in my garage!

Cool, wish I could ride like that; no sarcasm, really wish I could drag the pegs a little more than I do. My point with wax is that for less than 10 dollars you can get a wax that shines great and protects even better; no need to spend a lot just for a fancy name wax that is marginally better that only a show bike could benefit from. Apologies if I came on too judgemental.

When I had my Vette (used '84, about ten years ago, sold when my girls were heading to college) I bought Malms polishing cleaner and pure carnuba, pretty expensive stuff at the time. It took a lot of work but it did show exemplary results but that vehicle came out only on sunny days and lived in the garage when not cruising.

OK, let's see some pics of the front and rear tires! Knee sliders...?

Here is a shot of the rear tire:

No knee sliders though, can't get down far enough, starts hitting hard parts, exhaust, ceterstand etc.
