I'm sold on Zaino
It's a little on the pricy side, but the finish is amazingly durable and shiny.<ul><li><a href="http://www.zainostore.com/Merchant2/merchant.mvc">Zaino</a></li></ul>

Re: people prefer different products
why the all in one if you use a clay bar first? Woyldn't it be better to clean with clay, put on Klasse High Gloss Sealant Glaze then the P21s wax?

take a look at Troy H's writeup on detailing in the detailing forum
basically, you clay the car to remove contaminants, etc.. but you still want to use polishes to bring out the car's finish. after that, you generally want to apply a sealant that will protect the polished finish, then finish that off with a good wax. Klasse AIO is a sealant/very mild polish that can be followed by the sealant glaze and/or waxes such as P21S.

You can also download a good detailing guide from this link
They used to charge 19.95 for it, but now you can download and register it for free.<ul><li><a href="http://www.guidetodetailing.com/articlenoheader.php?articleId=58">Autopia detailing guide</a></li></ul>

Yep, wash, clay, wash, (op. swirl remover), klasse aio, klasse glaze x2, p21S wax.
You can also insert a swirl remover in there after the wash if you have bad swirls. Sadly my paint is so far gone from the previous owner that absolutely nothing will help but a new paint job. Also, you can pick up the p21s wax relabeled as s100 carnuba wax at your local Harley Davidson dealer for a good price.
