Based on recommendations from other owners, I purchased the following products. After almost two years, I am very happy with the results.

Meguiar’s car wash	The car wash soap goes a really long way. I have learned that only a half a cap full is plenty to wash the RT and my car. I did have a problem with my order, and the company did not respond to repeated email request. While they were helpful on the presales side via phone, the lack of response has left a bad taste with me and I will look for another product when my supply runs out. Which may not be for several years. Ordered online.
Meguiar’s car wax	Following the advice of Consumers Reports, I only wax once to twice a year. The nice thing about an RT, is that there is not that much to wax. In fact it takes longer getting the wax out of the cracks as it does to wax the bike. Ordered online.
303 Aerospace Protectant	I purchased a 32oz bottle from a local dealer (below). He had plenty in stock and was very helpful with application hints. Thus far the product is working well, but one thing is that you need to let the product dry about an hour after applying. The product does a great job in removing the wax I get on the black plastic by mistake. Spa Cover Factory 11347 Folsom Blvd. Ste. F Rancho Cordova CA US 95742(916) 638-7727
