"Bezlitosna Skuteczność - Depilacja Woskiem Harley"
The most expensive waxes
Believe it or not, there’s a car wax out there that costs a whopping £24,000.
Yes, for the price of a Ducati V4S, you could own a block of wax to wax your, er, CB500?
But back in the (sort of) real world, the most expensive wax we could find for sale is made by Swissvax. Those cheeky Swiss are known for having a bob or two, so perhaps the Concorso Luxury Car Wax doesn’t look pricey over there but from where I’m standing, it does. It gets good reviews but then, at £190 a pot, I’d expect it to wax my car for me.
Quick guide to waxing your motorcycle
Many people who are new to a DIY clean, polish and wax often ask what techniques are best when it comes to waxing their bike. Here at Biker Rated, we have a comprehensive guide on the whole cleaning process but to get you up to speed on waxing and polishing, here are our helpful hints and tips.
1. Using your microfibre cloth or pad, add a bit of polish or wax (trust me, a little goes a long way!) and smear it on your bike’s bodywork one panel at a time.
2. Applying light pressure, rub the polish or wax in a circular motion, leave to dry slightly and buff out using the same circular motion with a clean microfibre cloth.
It shouldn’t take too long to complete this process, bike panels are small (thank goodness!) but if you want to use a separate polish and wax, apply the polish first and the wax afterwards to keep the protection of the hardened wax. It will obviously take longer with this approach but you'll get a better finish.

What’s the difference between a wax and polish?
A polish is designed to remove tiny marks which can affect the finish on your bodywork. These marks can be anything from scratches to spotting and oxidation.
Polishes are usually pastes or creams which contain abrasives or chemical cleaners which flatten the surface. Some polishes are more aggressive than others and polishes are not designed to add protection to the paint surface. They are designed to correct the paint.
A wax will enhance and protect a painted surface. They’re best applied after your bodywork has been polished
Automotive wax is a non-abrasive coating which usually contains Carnauba and other waxes. The wax serves as a clear, shiny protective layer between the elements and the bodywork. It fills in very tiny (microscopic) dimples in the bodywork and keeps the rain, road grime and other chemicals from affecting your paintwork.
Motorcycle wax FAQs
Can you use turtle wax on a motorcycle?
Turtle Wax is a well-known brand and most featured in adverts containing cars, but don’t be fooled. Turtle Wax can be used on motorcycles in the same way. It’s safe to apply to all types of bodywork and all colours.
How often should I wax my motorcycle?
How often all depends on how particular about a clean bike and which product you’re using. We recommend checking the packaging for manufacturer recommendations if you’re unsure, but our top tip can be done without digging around in drawers for it…when your bike is wet, if the water stops beading on the surface, its time for another application.
Should I use wash and wax on my motorcycle?
Of course. Wash and waxes are formulated to be used all over the bike rather than just the panels. It works in between waxes by reinforcing the protection of previously applied wax. We recommend applying a separate wax over the top of your cleaned bike as it provides added protection.
How do you clean matte paint on a motorcycle?
Clean your bike the same as you would if it had metallic paintwork, the difference is the finishing product. Make sure you use a matte specific finisher like this RAT WAX Motorcycle Matte Finish Detailer Spray Cleaner from Amazon . It doesn’t contain any gloss to create an unnatural looking shine or any additives that can damage matte paint. Creating an additional layer of protection stops the damage from UV rays.
