Ok...I use all Glare products, even the wash. I wash the bike with a sheepskin mitt, glare, and mildly warm water (mostly to keep my hands from freezing in this kind of weather). Here's my rational...I use only Glare products on the bike for polishing, and was so impressed with it, I figured they had to know what they were talking about with the wash too, and from my point of view, their products are the best, bar none. I blow dry the bike with a Cycle Dryer...don't use compressed air unless you are certain the tank has no oil or water in it...most do, unless you have an air dryer/oil remover. This is one thing I know something about from being in the pneumatic HVAC control business for 18 years...ALL compressed air has some oil/water molecules in it unless it is condensed out with an air dryer...For tools, airing up your tires, etc...not a problem. Then I use a microfiber cloth to touch up the areas that might have a water spot or two on them from blow drying.
I know I sound like a friggin' Glare commercial, but the chit works as promised. Carnuba wax actually COLLECTS dirt and dust on the finish, and does not penetrate/bond with the finish. It will look good, but is not durable.
My two cents worth...
