Tirox Speed Wax Detailer
Tirox Speed Wax Detailer Review Clear spray is super easy to use, buffs easily to a highly polished shine and leaves a very nice finish. I’m embarrassed — this can of Tirox Speed Wax has been sitting around the garage since I wrote the review of the Tirox Chain Cleaner kit in September of 2008. If you …
Motorcycle Detailing

This has happened several times in the motorcycle detailing business, and we’ve reviewed many unique productsthat are definitely not available on the shelves of your local strip mall auto …
Tend Plastic Cleaner
Tend Plastic Cleaner Interesting and very hard-to-find anti-static plastic cleaner for polycarbonate airplane windshields. Works well and leaves a “slippery” feel that seems to make the surface easier to clean, but I’m not sure if the product is overwhelmingly better than several other plastic cleaners we’ve tried. Regular readers know what a kick we get …

Sprayway Motorcycle Helmet Visor & Windscreen Cleaner
Sprayway Motorcycle Helmet Visor & Windscreen Cleaner Non-ammonia based cleaner, works great on helmets and visors. I haven’t found anything that works better.

Blue Away
Blue Away Review Blue Away “Motorcycle Exhaust Blue Remover Cream” didn’t work very well in this trial. The Counterman rang up my order and announced “That’ll be $41.63.” I remember thinking that it seemed like a lot of dosh for an oil filter, a small bottle of Blue Away (2.5 ounces, to be exact) and …
Motorcycle Carburetor Cleaning and Adjustment
The “Poor Man’s” Carb Adjustment Sometimes, you can get lucky and a simple can of carb cleaner works magic. The Triumph Tiger had been sitting in the dealer’s showroom for several months with a half-full tank of gas when I bought it in the Fall of 2004. The dealer didn’t start it, nor did he …

Motorex Helmet Care Review
Motorex Helmet Care Helmet Cleaner Motorex Helmet Care cleans helmet liners. It can also clean the outside of the helmet shell, but we’d rather use other products for that job. It has a sickly-sweet perfume or chemical smell, which is strange, considering the purpose of the product. Motorex Helmet Care can be hard to find; …
Glare Spider Review
Glare “Spider” Swirl Remover Review Like the Glare Professional Polish (review), the Glare Spider Swirl Remover really does work. It takes a bit of “elbow grease”. And make sure you follow the directions to the letter. But when used in combination with Glare Polish as the final coat, you can restore the paint with most …

Hot Grips for Cold Hands The Hot Grips can be difficult to install. But they work well, providing lots of heat. They include a two position switch. The draw is 15-18 Watts each at maximum power.

Glare Professional Polish Review
Glare Polish Review A little more work to apply but the results are well worth the effort. Still the best stuff around after…oh, 10 years or so? Let’s face it — most photographs of a freshly polished motorcycle are going to make the finish look pretty good. So reviewing motorcycle polishes isn’t easy; other than …
