Well, to be honest I havent tried it, but I dont know about that "let it setup in the sun" deal. I'll stick with my Glare, works really good for me, the Britemax 6S detail spray is killer good too, I have onlly  a few things in my cabinet now, aint gonna change. On this group, its always, whats new for me to spend my money on? Were in a recession you know?

I don't know squat about polishes and waxes, but I know shine when I see it and Q's 02 Purple SERK shines like 10,000 diamonds. I asked him what he used and he said he had gone the whole A-Z route with the Glare products.

And that's my $0.02 on the subject

I switched to Glare, followed the directions to the letter. Looked nice, but nothing spectacular. So, to be fair, I have continued to apply thin coats and polish it over the next couple weeks.
Still not overly impressed.


Same here.

Have yet to see a post here giving a scientific comparison of Glare Polish vs Snake Oil.  Obviously, Snake Oil must be rarely used as a bike wax or polish, but expected at least 1 poster to prefer Snake Oil to Glare or at least claim it is comparable.


Also, does the type of snake (rattlesnake, garter snake, anaconda?) matter as to the best shine one can achieve from using Snake Oil?   :nixweiss:

Best looking wax job I've seen on a bike so far was in York, PA in April and the bike belonged to TwoLaneBluesRider.  His trip took him over 1,000 miles to get there through some rain.  I have no idea what he had on his bike but when he sees this post and lets us all know that's what I'll be using....   :vrolijk_11:

Never used snake oil Mike. But I showed a fine example of a perfect Bikini Wax. Unfortunately it was removed in the middle of the night without fanfare! Oh what a cruel world we live in! :nixweiss: ::) ;D ;)

Howie I am shocked!  Also horrified, but did not see a smiley for horrified.   :nixweiss:   Your post on bikini wax was very uplifting and that young lady's dedication to.....well let's just say a toothless beaver that might shiver in the winter due no pelt, was inspiring.

A cruel world where peltless beavers have no place in this place but they have a place in other places, thankfully.  We must remain vigilant & make sure our country has plenty of bikini wax just in case a beaver needs de-hairifying!   :2vrolijk_21: :2vrolijk_21:

These could use some wax.  If that picture were still here, we'd have a positive control.

Yeah that was a nice picture while it lasted, I am surprised it did as long as it did...beaver cleavage rules.  Maybe the mods ain't never seen one like that.

Ever try to oil a snake?
