Give it a claybar treatment,and then wash and wax it.(Over_Easy @ Jul. 23 2007,20:26) My wife drives a black 04' Infiniti G35 (6SPD) that I have handwashed and waxed, but not as often as I should. Now, even after a wash and wax it doesn't feel as smooth while dragging a microfiber towel across it when finished. I know time and sun can take it's toll, especially here in FL, but will any of the aforementioned products help bring back more of a glassy smooth surface to it?
Exactly what is a clay bar and what does it do?(pward76 @ Jul. 24 2007,08:04)Give it a claybar treatment,and then wash and wax it.(Over_Easy @ Jul. 23 2007,20:26) My wife drives a black 04' Infiniti G35 (6SPD) that I have handwashed and waxed, but not as often as I should.

Works like a charm. You can buy claybar kits at any good auto store. Make sure that if you drop the clay, that you pitch it.
The Clay bar is just a polymeric "clay"that removes polutants, oversparay etc. prior to glazing or Waxing. I use the Mothers Clay Bar prior to Waxing and then follow it up with their Pure Carnauba! If you park your bike (car whatever) outside at all you will really be impressed at how smooth it makes the surface prior to Waxing! BTW I touch my bike up with Lemon Pledge almost daily between Waxing!(Over_Easy @ Jul. 24 2007,09:10)Exactly what is a clay bar and what does it do?(pward76 @ Jul. 24 2007,08:04)Give it a claybar treatment,and then wash and wax it.(Over_Easy @ Jul. 23 2007,20:26) My wife drives a black 04' Infiniti G35 (6SPD) that I have handwashed and waxed, but not as often as I should.

It always looked as if it was the last thing I would want to rub on my car's finish.
+1 plexus is very good. Windscreens and faceshields too.(mymaster @ Jul. 24 2007,02:30) I've only used Plexus for two years now, even on the wheels,pipes and cans with zero problems. It also cleans up flung chain stuff so good,better than anything I've ever used, you could buy it just for that. I have never washed this bike with a bucket,soap and water, just the Plexus.
