Does anyone know of a product that works the same as Silkolene Pro Prep? I'm getting a little sick of dumping $10 a can and only getting two uses out of it.


I've thought about using a can of the 'wet tire' look stuff by Meguiar's and other brands.

Any ideas guys?

How does using that compare to Armor All? How exactly do you use the M & G on it? I've never used the stuff for anything, so I am clueless.

Thanks.

We just sprayed the plastics ..It shines the plastics really well plus when you wash the bike the dirt and grime washes off easy. In a mud race we sprayed WD-40 under the fenders, The mud doesn't stick as bad and when you washed it it was also easier to spray the mud off as well. We used MnG because it's alot cheaper then Armor All. Plus it makes your bike smell really good..lol

Mop and glow on the hauler saves the time of waxing it just spray it on and watch shine.
