Glare is great stuff. Can't go back to the old stuff now.

Can't beat pledge for ease of use and always slick. It can be used on everything, chrome never looked better.

Always been hesitant, but still meaning to try this.  Do you use it instead of a polish, just after a good wash?

I carry Lemon Pledge Wipes in my saddle bag at all times. Great for getting bugs off windshields, metal parts, and great for cleaning up between major washes. Has to be the Lemon Pledge tho as it's the lemon that gets the bugs off.

I use the Glare system (4 different levels of cleaning) once or twice a year. Really makes the bike pop.

Glare, Glare, and Glare.  There is no other product that does what it does, and I've tried almost every possible brand/variation.  It costs more, but one bottle goes a LONG way.

When I polish it I like to use "Liquid Glass" and have been using it for 20 years on everything I own.  IMO the best polish ever made.

At the risk of having all the Glare-O-Phites  (nobody in particular either by the way ) threatening to burn down my house I have always used Turtle Wax and find it to be good enough for a vehicle that gets ridden in all kinds of weather, routinely on dirt roads and dealing everything from SoCal Freeways to backwoods Maine roads. I have no argument with the Glare-O-Phites claims of vast superiority of finish. It does seem to do a nice job, but the cost, time to do the multi-step process just make it a non starter for me. I consider it a trailer queen product.

Let the bashing begin, it's been far too long since I got ranted at by anybody on this site. A good bashing would feel like way back in 05 when me and Hubbard used to rave at each other. So bring it on !!!!!

Pledge does wonders. Been using it for years for quick cleanup.

Zymol as a cleaner/wax for getting the base protection down.  Then Meguires or Mothers products as a polish and touch up.  This way I only need to "wax" a couple times a year, and everything else is a touch up  ;D
