Exterior care of ZX-14
What do you guys use to keep your ZX-14 looking like new? Also, where is a good place to look for accesories for the bike? I don't want to go crazy but would like to make the bike my own. Thanks!

I use Honda motorcycle polish. It may be called another name though, now.

+1. Also Pig Spit is good too but the Honda Spray Wax is the way to go! WD-40 for the wheels.

meguiars wash when dirty, blow dry with the echo blower  , and meguiars spray detailer the rest of the time. spray it on wipe it off before and after a ride and nothing sticks. plus it will out shine everyone at bikenight! no build up, just use a nice soft towel to apply.

+2 Honda spray polish and S100 bike cleaner, Wax nufinish is great stuff and has been top rated by many reviews. Buy it at Wally in a orange bottle and you dont get ripped off. But if you want a 90 dollar wax buy Grotts magic polish. Or better known as Black Magic.

Don't know if it's available world-wide but I use Autoglym Super Resin Polish and then a coat of Autoglym Extra Gloss Protection.
The finish is like glass, absolutely superb.
