Polishes remove light scratches in the paint or clear coat, they do not add a coating over the paint. The wax will add a layer of protection, but polish does not.
Very nice video. There is so much product out there its pretty confusing how to detail a car or bike.
Also just a little detailers tip: You dont have to and probably shouldn't wax right up to gaps between parts of the bike or dark flat panels like on the FJR. Waxing up to 1/2" to 1" close to gaps, edges or seams is ideal depending on the area. As you wipe off the wax its still spreading ever so slightly and just enough to give full coverage. Nothing looks worse than globs of wax stuck in gaps you just couldn't quite get to. And if you get it on dark satin finishes like on an FJR you will see it once the wax dries and you dont want that either. The more regular you are about cleaning and waxing the easier it is to do in less time because the bike wasn't too grimey to begin with.
Went to Walmart and bought the products. All I can say is...IT WORKS! I followed the steps as outlined in the video and now my 2014 Ultra shines like never before. Thanks for straight forward instructions on how to really get paint to shine with that super deep luster.
+Mark Wiggins Good job!
I still have my 70 Harley. A long time friend passed so I bought his 2012 Suzuki c50 from his daughter. I claybared it and it looks like it came from the showroom. Everyone thinks it's brand new, Thanks to you. I enjoy your videos. Keep um coming. Norman
Brian, let me start by saying I love your videos! Here in Minnesota we are suffering through our unridable winter and it's brutal, watching your sunny beautiful rides makes me excited for spring.
As a side note I think there is some confusion on what the polish is. It inst a layer you add to the paint, the reason you see any improvement in gloss is because the polish has an abrasive quality that removes faded/scratched clear-coat. You are buffing off 100% of the polish before waxing. The paint wont absorb the polish so there is no benefit to letting it sit on the paint.
good idea. I did enquire about getting my bike professionally detailed with a polishing machine - hell it's big money. I'll do it myself by hand !
Great video, but correct me if im wrong. I believe polish corrects the paint imperfections, it doesnt add another layer of gloss. Layering wax would add another layer of gloss
+1
wax protects the clear coat, polish would correct the clear coat to add gloss
Hi Bryan, just had to let you know how awesome this vid is (along with all your others). I tried out the techniques on my new FJR1300 AE and was still stunned by the difference the claybar and waxing made. I know it's a cliche phrase but my bike really does "Pop" now. We have crappy winters in the UK, but are still able to ride (unlike some of our other viewers out there). The downside is the amount of salt and winter crud that covers our bikes, making cleaning a real chore. I've now spent a few bucks on some "proper" cleaning fluids and cloths and it's made a huge difference to how I look after the finish of my vehicles. I'm ashamed to say that in my 52 years on this planet, I'd never heard of Detailing Spray. Now I will have some in the garage all the time. Steve
Good job man!
Thanks for making this video. I have the same bike and followed your steps, with great results!
Awesome video, and great explaination of everything. Thanks this helped educate.
I'm OCD, and can't have my bike dull or dirty...must be clean and shiney.
I'm saving this video for when I get my new FJR1300AS next year!
Thank you so much Bryan, this is awesome. Now I'm going to get a clay bar kit!
just loved the tutorial and your representation...Thanks a lot...
I used your info on my 1970 Harley FLH. WOW. The paint never looked so deep. Got everything at Walmart. Thank you so much. Norman
2001himax Awesome man!!
i had a 70 FLP late 70s. old anaheim police bike. made many trips san diego- palm springs. shovel with solids and drag pipes
Hi I wanted to say thank you for such a great Video, although I don't own a Yamaha and am based in UK, your advice was spot on and my Triumph Tiger Sport1050 is now very shiny indeed!
Estupendo, que trabajo tan admirable.
Quite simply outstanding! Thank you and God bless you and your love ones.
Great video. I am gonna try this out on my bike this weekend... Thanks.
SO much useful stuff in this video! Going to try the clay bar and polish before waxing my Ninja ZX6R. You've got another subscriber in me.
Cheers from Halifax, NS
Thanks so much! Greatly appreciated your knowledge and time. Any suggestions on how to restore plastic trims on our bikes ?? (God bless)
Another great "how to" vid. Thanks for posting!
Great info video...very informative and extremely helpful!
Thanks
Отличное и полезное видео.
will be tryin this on my bike this sunday..lots of info man...thanks :)
thank you dude! great job!
Thank u so much. I will follow your instructions.
Awesome! Great video. I'm definitely doing this to my brand new bike when I get it next month.
just bought well actually it was April a Roadking ...Vivid Black......been going all over the net looking for detail information ...thanks for your educational video on the way to detail a bike with clay....thank you ride safe,,,,TJ
Thank you Mr. Sir for this video!
I love your videos ! Continue the good work please. Greetings from Belgium
Great vid, needed to wear my sunglasses last few minutes.
Nice looking bike! Hoping to pick up an R1 this weekend. Thanks for the video - I'll be doing this on my next ride. :)
great video. any thoughts on the best way to remove swirls in black paint? I know products that claim to remove these are really just stripping the clear, maybe there's something better
Great video!! Nice FJR1300!!
do you have a segment on front fork removal & fork seal (s) replacement ? on a 2009 FJR 1300 love your videos JO........
Great video
Great video! Lots of detail. I appreciate all of the videos you have produced. What are your thoughts on ceramic-based polishing and sealing products like F-11? Looking for some unbiased input. There are lots of "sponsored" comparison videos out there for one product vs. another... I've used F-11 on my vehicles, and it works well for about a year (one coat)... they recommend "several" coats. Anyway, just wanted to get your thoughts. Thanks again!
This is about the only usefull video out there on this subject, thanks for this!
Finely some one that polishes a bike like me , good video and good job , I have a new ROAD STAR SILVERADO S 1700 coming in the spring and ,I'll spend 5 to 6 hours on it going over every thing be for I take it out, Ido the same thing with me car every year.
going to do this after work. also going to walmart and purchase products
Nice video. Like u. I wish I had the time! But I do my cars just like you just did the bike. at least once a year.
ty' help me alot
Whoa dude... That job would have been complete with a nice stick such as a Liga Privada! Lol. Nice vid man. Cheers!
Josh Gonzalez You're not wrong :)
COOL DOING THE BIKE RIGHT NOW
Thanks for the detailed polishing/waxing video...there is not a lot of good video info on this subject. Are you familiar with Original Bike Spirits spray cleaner & polish? It used to be marketed as Pro Honda Spray Cleaner & Polish. This stuff gets rave reviews all over the web and I was thinking of trying it out.
why not wax the chrome?
A polish or compound is an abrasive solution that will remove scratches but you don't want to use a polish if not necessary to preserve the thickness of your paint. A polish contains no gloss enhancing or protection whatsoever and will remove fine scratches and clean the paint. "Layering" polish is pointless as it leaves nothing behind. It's just a preparation for your wax or sealant. An all in one product can be the way to go if you have paint is very good condition. Is will be less abrasive than a out and out polish and leaves a little protection ready for your wax or sealant. Also claying your vehicle isn't a one time deal. Even if you wax etc, contaminants will bond to the paint again. Claying will always leave marring so if you clay, you will need to polish again to remove the marring. Use a generous amount of QD or clay lube to reduce the marring as much as possible.
hey your the cigar guy! I'll go ahead and subscribe to both your channels

can you clay bar after the wax or will the clay pull up the wax also?
Wash, then clay, they wax. If you clay after wax you remove the wax.
enjoyed the video. your welcome to use my bike as your model in the next video !
+61flh1345 Awesome! My next video is 'How To Get Your Bike REALLY Dirty'!
quick question.....if the claybar doesnt come with a liquid....can i use polish instead?
No. You really need some quick detail spray, it's made for it. It leaves no residue and doesn't break down the clay.
Haha its cigar obsession. I didn't know you ride.
You may have commented about this before, how would you wash microfiber towels/cloths? or should I just get new ones if, for instance, I drop one on the floor! hah
Same as anything else, look on the tag for any special instructions
Liquid detergent, no fabric sofner, and do a full extra rinse. Do not wash with other rags. Dry on low heat.
Do you recommend using the same or different products for the fiberglass vs metal surfaces? For each step; Cleaning, clay bar, pre-polish, polish, wax.
Additional note: I have a Goldwing with lot of fiberglass.
Aren't you tha same guy who does the Cigar Reviews?
Can you still clay bar after a vehicle has already been waxed?
Everything has to be stripped off before using a claybar.
Hhhmmmm. I literally just finished waxing it prior to seeing this video. No polish or anything. In hindsite, I wish I saw this years ago.
OMG , Dude i watch your Cigar VIDS...LOL
so after the clay...you apply polish, then buff it off(dont let it dry, atleast thats what my polish says) then apply wax, buff it off....then let it dry, then buff it again?
Almost got it! You let the wax dry then buff and you are done!
ok, also it would be cool if you could do a video about the differences between simply applying, and buffing....I just scrub away(Gently) till everything looks shiny and clear like a spotless mirror
Much thanks, keep up the great videos!(And reviews!)
That's fine for some polishes, that's the whole point of them - but if you do that to a wax...you are doing nothing. If it's not let to set and build a coating...you are just wiping off what was meant to stay on.
looks like you have a ghost playing with that tennis ball
Dman117z z @ 17:28 Tennis Ball moving. Funny how he doesn't notice !
This vid demands a Cigar while Cleaning Bike!!!!
YES! Ladies and Gentleman, we have a SNIFFER!!!!! :P
But seriously, great video. I found it very informative. The only thing I do not understand, is if the clay bar is picking up the contaminants, why don't they scratch when you are still rubbing the surface? Please keep up the great videos. While you were showing the difference, I was waiting for you to hit the tank with the camera, scared me a little.
you only use clay bar one time? why not every time you details?
Claybars are for pulling contaminate out of the paint. They are primarily there new from the factory but can build up over time in some environments. Once you remove them, you don't have to do it again until any are back. It's not a surface treatment.
That's what waxes are for. To protect your finish so you don't have to clay as often. If you use waxes (or sealants) as often as suggested, you'll find that using clay bars become less necessary after initial claying.
ow i get it i must clean my bike like a maniac scared of dust :o
Squirrel!
layer of polish?
polish REMOVES layers of paint. it's abrasive.
if your paint has no scratches or swirl marks you don't need to be polishing it.
Alphonse Faure Actually all paints have a clear coat. That is what is being polished. It removes micro scratches further smoothing the clear coat.
bubblehead7680 not all paints have clear coat, but that's beside the point. The polish is abrasive and removes material. It does not fill the micro scratches it grinds the higher areas down until the surface is smooth and level. Polish adds nothing to the paint or clear coat and you can't build up several layers of polish on the surface as he's suggesting in the video.
even better use quality products Meguire's is a premium auto store line if you can afford it go to a detailing supply store their product are much much better things brands like pinnacle or angel wax while more expensive they destroy anything Meguiar's or Mothers can get close to dont use new finish or turtle wax they are crap
