So if you use GLARE, are you supose to use the GLARE WASH/SOAP too?

I have seen other threads where they have stated what they use and they have said you have to use that brand of wash/soap otherwise it will eat the wax/polish and you will not get the results you want.

It's supposed to add some more protection as you use it, but it doesn't suds up much for me, so I use whatever car wash I have laying around.  I probably like the Harley stuff about the best, actually.  Also, cars and trucks get washed at the car wash with whatever soap they're using - Still have a great Glare shine on everything.

Oh, my bad.. When you said scooters I thought you were using the slang for motorcycle. Don't have multiple motorcycles or a scooter(s), but I still keep my motorcycle (scooter) on a BT at all times. :D ;D :D ;D

Ok, first hand knowledge here.
Bought GLARE polish and wash. Came Monday. Cleaned wifes bike yesterday. Sat down last night and used the Glare. Oustanding. ez apply and buffing. Over the years I have tried many products, Used the 3-M line of Pro products, actually cost more than the Glare. It can't hold a match to Glare.
We speak of cost, I got the wash and polish for 40 bucs all in. So cost is not the object. If they would have said, Look, your bike bike will look like this for this  much money, I would have spent more.


If $40 to wash and wax a motorcycle isn't much to you, I'll pick through your trash and eat your leftovers.

Oh,
    I got one of those. It's called ME. I get on the bike and ride it every day or so. When I had 4 bikes, I'd ride a different one every day. I guess I'm too lazy too hook up the gizmo thingy.

Yes, as soon as it gets cold I hook mine up.  I was advised to make sure you get the one with the automatic/float so it charges the bat. when ever it needs it and it is not a constant charge.  I have thought about getting the new Harley global 5 amp charger.  ANYONE HAVE THOUGHTS?

The battery in the SERG took a dump like the day before it got stored last fall, so it sat with nothing on it last winter.  When I got the FXR3 this spring and put a new battery in the SERG at about the same time, I picked up a 2-in-1 unit that I run on those bikes.  The SEEG and the other toys are all on dedicated units.
