Go to your local Harley dealer and get S100 wax.

Default Go with #26 wax. It's very good and durable. I'd also agree with the S100 recommendation if you

wax your car frequently (i.e. once a month).

I suppose you can use IHG with a PC, probably with a polishing (white) pad or finishing (black or grey) pad.

Then go with a sealant like Klasse or Zaino - it will last much longer

Default While Blitz is probably better than #26...

given that you wax only twice a year, zaino seems to be a better choice. I've never used #26, but from what I can tell Blitz will probably look better for a bit and will be easier to apply, but as far as protection is concerned they aren't *that* much different. They certainly won't last more than 3 months each, while the sealants like klasse or zaino can last the 6 months (longer?) that you go between waxings. I've never used Zaino, so for the actual application and longevity you'd have to ask another. I think RKA uses it. Klasse All In One is a great product and very easy to apply. Sealant Glaze is a little trickier, but is also a great product. I don't use it on my car because it doesn't give me the depth of shine I like (brilliant black) and I don't mind waxing over other month. If I didn't want to spend much time detailing, I would use AIO every 3 or 4 months. It can combine the polishing/glazing and waxing step and lasts longer than a carnuba.
