I would avoid that, if you're referring to the tank's side area in the duke.
Also car interior or dashboard polish tend to make surfaces extremely slippery, so COMPLETELY AVOID applying to the seats, or throttle area, switchgear.

I made that mistake once, worst one ever.

No, not three days.
I meant I can polish the bike 3 times on different occasions, until the can is empty.

Motomax polish isn't waterproof so if you wash your bike after a polish you need to reuse it. Turtle wax lasts for a month even after washing bike once every week and if you're ready to spend money then you can buy meguires wax which is said to last for months.

Re: bike polish!

Which polish to use for Activa any suggestions guys ?? What is the difference between Wax polish and Silicon Wax polish ? I have been told that Formula 1 Wax / 3M Liquid Polish / Amway Silicon Wax liquid polish are good options. Since most of the bodies is made up of fibre these days, so which one will be good and will be longing ?

Re: Caring for my thunderbird

These are two different products easily mistaken by many.. Wax and polish

Wax is a protectant
Polish adds shine and removes minor defects

You can try car pro reload gyeon cure Meguairs nxt tech wax 2.0 sonax BSD 3m liquid wax

My personal suggestion would be to use liquid waxes or sealants as they require less effort and result is similar.

Polishes- car pro reflect 3m final finish Meguairs ultimate polish sinus final finish etc which has more than 3000 grit for superior shine
