I know that Glare is very popular with the Harley crowd. You hear about Glare all the time over at the Harley Forums. I personally use alot of the Zaino line of products.

There is a local guy around here who started a company selling wax/polish. It appears that all of them are using the same basic ingredients in very similar ratio's. It's mostly about marketing -
nourish your paint
protect from nuclear devastation
attract breasts
improve tire life
make you buy all their other products
sell you a $50 towel
attract breasts
win best of show
make you type about it on a forum.....

Gliptone is the favorite for cars and bikes here.

Gary's cleaner wax is the favorite for boats.

Hit it right on the nail ( or nipple ) . I've been hearing this same crap for half a century. Anything with a high percentage of Carnuba will do as well as any other. In fact many years ago lots of guys used hardwood paste floor wax which was just carnuba in a can. High traffic agggresive wear floors.....pretty hard to beat that wear and tear . Little hardder to buff thought so people got lazy and fall prey to quick gloss :<(

I've personally become a fan of Griot's Garage. Have yet to try the new paste wax, but saw a torch red c6 at a local show and absolutely no swirl marks. Guy said he never polishes, just uses a good sealer.
