I have had alot of motorcycles-mostly black in color. the one thing taht griped me was the white film left in seams, etc from auto waxes. I used the Meguires technical yellow paste wax. It goes on easy, and never dries (I guess) as you wipe it off and there is never any white residue. Even if you get alot in a seam it stays almost clear. great shine too.IMO
