Olek-
Thank you very much for the info- I need some more P21S wheel
cleaner, and if the local H-D dealer has it, that's awesome.

What do you use for a glaze/polish prior to waxing, then?

Hint: you can buy P21S wax (that costs $25 and is availabale almost
exclusively online) from your next-door Harley-Davidson dealer for $15.
Ah, forgot about small detail - even that it is same wax from the same
company in the same jar, label does say "S100 cycle wax". Marketing
miracle ;) And yes, it does work very nicely on black paint, although
now I prefer polymers. Again, you can grab P21S wheel cleaner in the
same place while you are there (again with a price break and relabelled
as "S100 cycle wheel cleaner"). As usual, disclamer, YMMV, it is almost
1 year since I was there last time.

And, AFAIK 3M Imperial Machine Glaze is more of a filler, not polish -
it will make your paint look better, but only temporarily, utill it
eveporates.  If you like 3M products (I
do) you could use 3M Swirl Mark Remover (for light or dark cars -
difference between them is insignificant); it is very mild polish that
makes it safe in hands of novice, and it DOES remove swirls and very
minor scratches, when used with Porter-Cable orbital buffer.
