I have had those that want to know what I use on my bike to keep it in good condition and I felt kinda bad because most of the products that I use are commercial products not available to all. But the other day I tried a new stuff called Jetseal by the Chemical guys and this is the best stuff I have ever used hands down. I cannot attest to the durability yet but the shine is above every other product I have tried, they say it lasts for 12 months. So if you want something to make your bike bling I recommend this stuff. It even is good on the black and does not leave white residue either. I was not to happy with the black unless I put a silicon coating on, but with this stuff it will be protected and looks good.

I just bought TopCoat F11.  I checked reviews and figured it was worth a try.  Haven't used it yet though.

I use a spray can product sold at cycle dealer here for plexiglass windshieds.expesive 24 bucks a can. I spray whole bike down with it chrome, paint plastic, exhaust everything. Was caught twice in heavy rains, got home bike was dried  off not one water spot anywhere. Dried on bugs come right off very easily. This will also hide light scratches and scuffs as  well.

Thanks for sharing, Robert.

Who did your chrome side covers?  I have a little chrome project in mind - a bit of trim on my fairing.

And have you seen Corbin's latest price for our bags?  Just under $2K.  Holy price gouge, batman!

The side covers are OEM Honda, wasn't sure of them at first but after having them on a bit, I like them. I put all the information for you below not cheap either but not as much as the bags. I was surprised at the bag cost, and I am glad I bought them when I bought the bike, it would give me real pause at that price.  Shocked

I think the last thing is going to be chrome the pass handles. I have not really wanted to do it because I do use them for securing things and the thought of having to be careful with the chrome makes me pause a bit on getting it done.
