Well, I guess it don't matter now, especially if you have to finish it off with the Pro Polish anyway. Dayum, I thought it looked pretty good already!

Hoist!

Glad you like it. Now get down here and show me how to do mine. I don't take instruction well, but I like seeing an example, or two.

[REGGAB]

The only one of the three that I rubbed in completely was the Pro Polish.  Like Chief said, I use Spider for swirls and MF for scratches.  It doesn't get used often......but it does work good on saddlebag lids where Renea's fringed chaps beat the chit out of the fronts of the lids.  If I use Spider or MF, then Pro Polish gets rubbed in completely followed by a traditional application.  For maintenance I use Brite Max 6S or Honda Spray.  On the road.........Honda Spray.  That stuff rocks!!

I'm bringing my micro fiber towel to try some out. My bike's kind of dirty.

Howie...like the others have said, the final application, after you've gotten all the scratches and swirl marks off, is one of the most critical.  Rub that light first coat in well...unitl it all but disappears, then the second coat...let it dry well, then buff it off with a clean microfiber or two.  Use it on chrome...all shiney parts...even the windshield.  You will not be dissappointed with the final result, and from this point forward, it'll be easier to just touch up the parts that need it.  The stuff really is different than anything else I've ever used, and I've had solid black gelcoated bass boats that I tried everything on...this chit beats them all

I haven't forgot.  A couple few, few couple, couple, few, fouple, cew....CHIT.....2 cans are packed in the Tour Pak for ya, Chuck.  Was bringing a bottle of 18 year old single malt scotch to share with Don.........with high hopes that the nectar from Scotland's Speyside would make him feel better........but alas....I hate to drink alone.

I feel there will be a few calls made to, and a few shots drunk for, Don.

Thanks Terry. I did the Pro Polish exactly as you, spyder, and Brian said. That first coat was a bitch. That chit just doesn't want to rub in. Maybe it was the 2 previous coats I did yesterday. But eventually, I was able to rub in the first coat. Then I put on the 2nd coat, let it dry up, and polished it off. I gotta admit, it leaves a beautiful finish. But 4 coats and 6 hours is a bit much. And that was just the painted parts. Never touched the chrome or anything else yet. If the pro-polishing maintenance on it is easier now, I guess it was worth it. I imagine you don't need 2 coats on the chrome. Just wax on wax off?

Thanks for the help. When it stops raining, I'll try to get some pics. After all, ya'll will probably never see this bike so clean again!!!

Hoist!

Yea, Howie...after this first application, all you'll need to do is touch ups, and do what amounts to the second application to keep things looking good.  On the chrome pieces, just put the pro polish on if there's no swirls or scratches on the pipes.  That will do...

Not enough to do 2 coats and rub the first one in thoroughly! Not on all that chrome. Yep, no swirls or scratches on the chrome at all!

Wax on, wax off the chrome!

Hoist!

Any prep required for the Glare? 

Tracking on the Spider Polish and the other "preps" to the Professional, but do you need to dewax the finish or anything to make it more effective?

No need to de-wax as with some other polishes I've read about, but you may want to use a clay bar first to remove any contaminants stuck on the paint or chrome surface.  Mother's makes a decent clay bar that is easily found at retail outlets and it comes with their spray detailer which is both used as a lubricant for the clay bar and is also great for quick touch-ups on top of the Glare.
