Default Tired...

But it was worth the effort I suppose, I still think that it could be look better because the products I used didn't live up to expectation but were decent nonetheless.

Looks great but I have a modest suggestion...go to yoru local Harley Davidson dealer and pick a $15 jar of S100 cycle wax which is almost the same as P21S. It looks awesome on light metallics and has more gloss than the stuff you used.

Looks like you did a wonderful job spiffing up the RX. I especially love the first pic of the tailight; very solid and clean!

No offense to you at all, but I avoid Turtle Wax products of any kind. There are far better products out there for almost the same money, like Meguiar's. Eagle One is a decent brand for detailing. As the previous poster mentioned, check out your local Harley-Davidson store, as they stock up quality metal/chrome polishes and waxes.

EagleOne NanoWax
You did good! And Nanowax is actually a very good product. You'd be surprised what little--if any--difference expensive boutique products make. You were tired hopefully because you took great care prepping the car. That's the key to a great detail. Nice job.

Yeah I know Turtle Wax sucks now, I jsut had so much of it I didn't want to trash it after my dad spent the money on it some time ago... Lol but I've heard wonderful things about Meguiars.

Hogwash. Boutique products are significantly better in performance in my experience.
