Taking Care of New paint

I had a friend paint my bike. It looks great but seems like it gets the very fine scratchs (hazing?) easily. What is the best metod/materials to cleanand wax to minimize this? Oh yeah, it is black.

Hand Glaze! That's all you need.

What kind of paint?

base coat/clear coat. What is hand glaze?

Ive had really good luck with this over the years,Ive also used turtle wax

Hand glaze is a very very very fine rubbing compound that you apply by hand. When applying wax to dark vehicles I always go in straight lines rather than circles, it reduces swirl marks(just make sure you rub it in pretty good.

Other products I have had good results with
- 3m swirl mark removed
-this 2 part system just for black cars, called black ice or something
-collinites insulator wax(kinda greasy, so it requires a lot of work to make it look good) this stuff lasts a long time.

Thanks for the ideas. What is the best material to use for application and polishing?
Wayne

Terry cloth towels for polishing, foam applicator for wax, microfiber for removing wax haze

3m products for removing marks and micro fiber cloths for putting it on and taking it off.

3m products for removing marks and micro fiber cloths for putting it on and taking it off.just make sure there clean

After much research spurred by products listed here I bought some 3M Handglaze and Professinal wax. If you think motor oil discussions are something research wax!!
Anyhow both products work great but when do you use the handglaze? Between waxings? Confused as I have read it adds no protection to the paint.

Taking Care of New paint

PaintWorkz wrote: Paint from the mid to late 70's was mostly acrylic lacquer and that is what the Kawasaki Candytone paint acts like. The new urethane paints are more durable when done right, but if recommended dry times between coats are not followed, or products are mis-matched, or tank was not cleaned or prepped correctly, I can see the clear wrinkling when soaked with gas due to a poor chemical bond between base coat and clear, or original paint and primer. Also paint manufacturers say to let paint cure for 3 months before waxing, so if you gas up a one week old paint job you are asking for trouble. It takes a paint job a year to cure before it gets good and hard.

Good Fortune!
