Detailing a Bike? Any suggestions I just picked up an 03 Honda shadow 750cc and I have a couple people interested on detailing their bikes if I do good on my own.

wash; clay bar; mask off all your non painted areas (metal and black plastic), Megs #26 polish (don't let it dry), NXT wax..un-mask taped off areas, and shes purty.
for wheels, if they're like my 636 was, they're a bitch and take time. get an old pair of socks and fold them into each other and use as an applicator/scrubber with a wheel cleaner (that is safe for your type of finish)

??? maybe you meant #7 ?? #26 is a carnauba wax, not a polish ..
also .. you could grab some S100 wax .. most bike shops carry it .. it has an awesome shine to it ..
