i have a question...i asked some people that question and everyone gave me different answer. is it good to wax and polish new bike or not? some say it's good for paint and even in suzuki instrouctions is written it is recomended. but some people say it's not good because it destroys protective layer of paint. so, what do you think? and if it's good and recomended what type of wax and polish is recomended for paint with pearl effect?

 

ive always heard to keep a good layer of wax on, but only on glossy finishes. flat finishes your not supposed to wax

 

thanks bro. i'll poslish my bike. is there any difference in what wax should i use. i have some, it says on it...hard wax polishing, new easily matte of lacque bla bla...is it good for my perl effect paint on my gixxer? or it's not so important which wax do i use?

 

wassup barbar??

Yes, it is good to wax new bike. Just use a clear coat safe wax. Like Honda polish, Meguirs, etc. Do not use a cleaner wax, or any type of rubbing compound.

 

thanks bigrig. i'm doing some type of rehabilitation...and i'm doing much better. now i'm riding almost every day. i can't do some long rides but few miles every day won't kill me

wassup with you bigrig?

 

workin right now bro.... As soon as work is done, heading on a 1,000 mile round trip ride for the weekend!! Should be fun.

At least you're healing man, and still able to ride.

 

sounds good bro. you'll have lot of fun on that trip....but be careful bro...you wouldn't want that tunnel vision catch you like it did catch me just be careful.

yeah, i'll be ok in no time

 

hit it up withsome furniture polish, i did my 7 and that thing was shining for years. even after it was wrecked it was still shiny. it attracted bees though when it was parked because of the lemon sent.

 

so do we not put any protection on the flat blue? i thought they just kit it up with a flat clear coat versus a shiney one. i dont think the flat is bare paint.

 

Bumping the oldest thread in every section.....I know its sad, but just wanted to see what happened...LOL
