Compounding and Waxing
One day, my friend and (yet to be approved) BHpian hondasamarth12 came over, and we both wanted to see the street in its former glory. We decided that we would give it a compound polish wax treatment and remove the haze from the clear coat. After buying a tin of compound and wax polish we came back home and gave it a thorough wash.
The Process
Materials Required :
Any Shampoo (Head and shoulders works good though)

Moto Max 2k Rubbing compound
Waxpol Silicone Liquid Wax Polish
A few sponges
Dashboard polish Moto Max
Old waste clothes
The first step is to wash the bike thoroughly with the shampoo, sponge and clean water. After the wash, dry the bike or let it dry on its own. Once it is fully dry apply some dashboard polish to the plastic parts with the sponge provided in the cover, which looks something like this. :
After the polish, You will immediately notice how shiny it looks (maybe that’s just in our case, we hadn’t seen the street like that for a long time) :
After polishing the dashboard, making sure that the vehicle is fully dry, take some compound in your fingers and apply it in circles on the panel :
Don’t forget to remove the compound using a waste cloth by rubbing the compound evenly and spreading it on the panel in circles until it completely disappears.
After the compound:
The next step is the polishing. To do this, take a new sponge and squeeze some polish onto it . Take the sponge and run it around in circles so that it spreads out evenly. The gleam that you receive at the end is special! All the more because it’s a black coloured scooter which truly shines.
After polishing of all panels :

Before and after :
This can be done in a frequency of 3 months, depending on how faded it gets. All in all, if done with full detail, it’s a 45 minute process and a splendid way of getting your ride to gleam without investing more than 200 rupees on the materials!
