$60 - 16oz   :o

I know the price :o, I was just wondering if it works as they claim.  $46 each if you get 3.  Split it with 2 friends

$46 is still a lodda regular polish and wax.

I was counting the $$$ dripping off the bike onto the floor.

IMHO, you will be hard put to find anything better than this.  Esp if you use it like they recommend, a first hard small-circle rub-out polish, followed by a regular polish.  Not wax, a polymer sealant.  And it's expensive enough.  Shop prices, it varies by over 10 bux.

I have heard much good on that Honda Glare.  Local Honda shop in Troy, Oh does not carry it.

As for the F-11, I did a quick search and could find no one that used it.  However like here opinions were quite skeptical.

What makes me suspicious is that you can't find what this stuff contains. You have only the tell sell like comments to go on. And the only one thing for all I know off is silicone. Is it silicone based? I definitely don't want silicone on my bike.

I also use Glare http://www.glare.com/
When I called them they said the Honda Glare is the old formula, which is still great I used it on my truck.
I brought the Winners kit from them about $100. I used it on my black F6B it turned out great looks better then new, and  lasting a long time if I see a smug or scratch it will come right out.

I'm not paying anybody $35 to see me wash my bike in a bikini.

Course, I probably don't look as good as you in a bikini.   ;D

The video says it's water based. Think I'll buy a kit and try on my truck and bike.

I am using the Honda Glare on my bike and truck. The first application is time consuming but after that it's easy peasy and really looks great!

received mine yesterday. This stuff is kick ass. I have never had perfect chrome but now i do. it's like looking in a mirror. Even cleaned the brown/black stains off my grumpy tips without much effort. This is the best polish i have ever used. I'll keep a bottle on the shelf and a bottle in the bike.  :cooldude: I exclusively used Lucas Mist before but now the Lucas will take a back seat.

I would like to be first in line for you to do my bike in Pikesville.  :cooldude:

I'll stick with ReJex.  I won't go into how good it is.  Find out for yourselves.,, Cheaper by far.

yeah but you can't use it on engine components that produce heat. Can you use it on windows? Top coat can be used on everything. I have never spent this much on a spray on polish/sealer but i'm glad i did. I'll never use anything else as long as i can get this stuff.

Yes, it can be used on windows or anything else. I'll grant you, ReJex is NOT a polish, just a protective polymer, not a wax as such..  14 bucks or so will do 3 cars.  Both my Miata and the Mazda Six still bead up after a year.

Hotglue (mark) started using it after Bellaire.

I haven't found the product yet..but I'd like to find a kit that can....#1--remove scratches/swirl marks and then, #2 put on a protective coating similar to polycarbonate that will keep the shine for a long time and resist scratches.

Wonder if that combo exists?

I'm thinking of ordering the kit by www.glaze.com which might have the closest effect as to what I'm after.

I purchased some REJEX and it arrived yesterday. Washed and dried the fat girl, then took her for a short ride. Then when I got back I applied the REJEX. Holy cow !!!! What a shine !! This stuff is awesome. Easier than wax to apply and then it just wipes off. Thanks for the info.

I ordered it through Amazon because of free 2 day shipping. Might have got it cheaper somewhere else. Here's link,
