Wax for your 14
I'm pretty peticular about detailing my vehicles, and I had difficulty getting my bike to look it's best. alot of waxes did good, but not great. With black you can see more flaws.
I went through 7 waxes before finding the best one for te job. Meguires NXT generation will leave no swirls, easy on, easy off, and great protection. Seriously it will make your bike look better than new.
for the plastic non gloss parts, use Black Chrome. Black chrome is like Armor All style, but with a black tint that makes even old faded rubber and plastic look new. It has better protective qualities than Armor All.

I use Eagle One Etching Mag Wheel Cleaner to polish my bike. Talk about shine... 
You should see the ingredient list on that bottle!

I use 2 waxes...Maguires 26 yelow wax,,,,easy wax on, wax off! I also use a liquid spray on from Simonize (blue bottle)...consistency of instant detailer (water) and works great when I don't have time to really polish....the 26 yellow removes swirl marks well too!

Mothers cleans the stains and burns off chrome(on my harley) very well. They make a decent wax also.
