.................... I haven't tried the Ezzy Clean Motorcycle Polish on it yet, because it's alcohol content worries me.  Conversely, it never crossed my mind when i used it on my old Ultra, probably because I bought it in a group buy and used it without thinking about it's contents.  A $32K bike makes you think about things you otherwise might not consider! [smiley=xyxthumbs.gif] My striped parts are going to be replaced anyway, so I may just try it and see if I get the same results...............[highlight]It's just that alcohol thing  Don't alcohol bases remove wax?[/highlight]  and other coatings?  like Glare? and Zaino? and RejeX?  Anyone know?  I'd like to.  All this Ezzy Clean stuff aside, I'm ordering the Glare Rapid Action Spray along with the leather cleaner and concourse kit this week.  If this Glare stuff is as good as everyone says it is, I might have to pull out my copy of Title 14 CFR and Title 29 CFR to arrange for transportation and disposal of all these other chemicals on my garage shelves.   [smiley=huepfenjump3.gif]  Just kidding..........excepted quantities!

Bagger,

Alcohol will remove most natural waxes, not sure about all the other man-made products out there.  I've found that the various detail sprays I've tried over the years do remove the carnauba wax I use rather rapidly.  No big deal on a bike, since it doesn't take much time to apply a new coat of wax.

d00d's the one with the outfit for detailing, 'specially purchased for him in anticipation of the MV trip... ;)

Henry, I don't like all the other S100 stuff, but that works OK for road trips.  Webikeworld has done several reviews on the "quick detailer" products, and basically concluded that while they work to some extent, they all have their drawbacks, and few advantages over a good wash product and water.  I wipe mine down after a days ride (when I'm back home) with a California Dust Mop, which works fairly well in removing the dust that seems to get sucked onto the back of the bags and fender.
