So I shouldn't use automotive waxes on my fiberglass, carbon fiber and plastic car panels, bumper covers, trim, head and tail light lenses because they are made from petrochemicals also?
Let's see...I've used Meguiar's Ultimate polymer wax (yeah...yeah...more a sealer than wax), Meguiars's NXT polymer wax, Meguiar's Gold Carnauba, DuPont Teflon wax, Turtle waxes (various), Simoniz Nu Shine, paste and Vista liquid wax, 3M Quick Wax, Zymol Titanium (over-priced and over-hyped, but decent stuff), Mothers California Gold and those are just the ones I can remember off the top of my head. There's some purple stuff in the garage...I forget the name, but despite the unnatural color and unknown chemistry has worked fine on my cars, tractors, motorcycles and bicycle frames.
Somehow, through good fortune or common sense, I've manage NOT to wreck any polymer pieces parts right up to and including the plastic bicycle frame that took me off a 44 MPH descent yesterday...as it gleamed in the 65° Ohio sunshine of a spectacular Fall day.
We are roadies. We have rules.
Keep your bike spotless and waxed to perfection. Let the masses look upon you and your bike with envy.
