This product is available readily available at Carrefour. Personally find this product to have the same quick make over effect as the ArmourAll quick wax. Note that both products I have mentioned are spray on.

Yep. The ArmourAll Car Wash has to mix with water before uses. For 9 years old paintwork, may I suggest Turtle Wax premium Wax Polish? It could be one of the last premium products to make your paintwork like new again.

Made a mistake here. Mothers Wheel Mist is only available at Home D.I.Y. at the moment. For turtle platinum wax, paste and liquid version should have the same lasting effect but it was quoted to last longer than spray on version.

Probably bi-weekly depend on the weather and trip factors. For enthusiast in up keeping their bike shininess, I guess is once a week.

Currently, I'm using the following products:

 

(1) Waxco Wash & Wax (G-Value)

(2) Maxima Spray & Shine (K&T)

(3) GT85 (K&T)

(4) S100 Motorrad - Hoch Glanz Politur (Looi Motors)

 

Normally what I'd do is wash the bike with (1) first, then wipe the bike dry. Then I'd use (2) to spray on, then wipe if off for the shine. (2) is used on those parts like fuel tank. (3) will be used on the Wheel rims to give it a wipe to take off any dirt. And lastly, (4) is used on those exposed silver shiny parts that is the main built of choppers. (4) is some German brand substance, comes in a tube and squeeze out like toothpaste. Excellent product.

Bro, you can skip the wash and wax if you use Spray and Shine. The stuff is already blended with cleaners that will take off stains that regular car shampoo cannot (I used to use Polyglaze).

 

Nowadays I just do a rinse with water (to get rid of large particles that can scratch the clearcoat). Dry the surface then apply Spray and Shine with microfibre cloth (microfibre prevents scratches from dirt being rubbed in the surface).

 

For 'out of sight' areas, you can skip the rinse and just wack the Spray and Shine. I tried it out recently on my wonderfully dirty undertail that's stained with mud from a wet ride and some chainlube stains, everything came right off with absolute minimum effort. I still remember expending alot of effort to clean the same undertail stain with the Polyglaze shampoo. Best part is that Spray and Shine leaves a smooth shine all in 1 step.

 

It works great on clear screens too, but avoid on matt plastic as it will leave white stain.

[Xenophobia07]

I did the Wash & Wax method only once, because I didn't wash my bike for 2 weeks.

 

Then after that, every week, I'll just use the Spray & Shine. Its really a wonder worker spray can. I'd recommend Maxima products.
