Hi guys,
I was wondering how you maintain the paint on the bike - especially the tank. Do you use regular polish (even polish it at all)?
Thanks,
Maintaining the paint

No wax, no covers...
Hey there. I will tell you about the best thing you can use. It does amazing job on the tank, plastics, even on your car dash. No shine, no wax. It is the legendary 303 Aerospace Protectant. If your bike is dear to you, try it. It works amazing. The black will be richer for a few minutes after you apply it and then it will settle into the beautiful flat black we all love and cherish on our rides. Plus, the coating protects in the long run and provides protection.
There is tons of things out there, but 303 has been the king. And trust me, I tried almost anything I found on a shelf. (I may be little OCD when it comes to polishing and cleaning my vehicles.)

Sorry for this late answer, but now I've finally ordered the 303 Aerospace Protectant from a store here in Norway. Looking forward to trying it, thanks so much for your advicemarousek wrote:Hey there. I will tell you about the best thing you can use.

It looks shiny and polished, but the flat black is still kept the way it should.
Highly recommended
