    How much does a can usually cost? Do you just spray it on, wait a min or two then wipe it down? Or do you wash the bike first, then spray and wipe?

    my zx6r is black. I just use car wash and this special wax for black paint. shines when she's all done!
    Yeah this zx10 is the fastest thing I've ever had between my legs
    Do you get that black polish at a bike shop? Or can it be found at Autozone/Advance?

    Is using a pressure washer a BIG NO NO? I've heard someone say before that it will make the paint crack faster if used.. but I wasn't planning on using it right on top of the plastics.

    So many questions

    X2 ON THE HONDA!! you spray it on, wait a few seconds, and wipe clean, bike should be mostly clean before it, as it brings out the shine and hidden dirt that you may not see. i would get a regular spray bottle of "wash and wax" car cleaner to clean it, then finish with honda stuff.

    Spray on, wipe off. Very easy.

    Large cans are around $10.

    No need for a pressure washer on a street bike.
