WHITE LINE PRODUCT REVIEW - FEATURED MAY 2009

With the sun shining in the early part of the day and raining in the evenings here in Florida, you want to make sure you have a good wax or sealant on your bike's paint job. This month we take a look at a high grade wax that has been around for years and works its magic just as well today as ever.

We're talking about Scooter Juice. Specifically, we're talking about the Scooter Juice Spray Wax. It's necessary to specify because Scooter Juice is actually a complete line of professional grade bike care products, that have been used professionally for over 15 years. They have everything from a degreaser to spray wax available on their website at www.scooter-juice.com.

We tested the Scooter Juice "original" Spray Wax. We used a 15" x 15" Microfiber cloth, Shadow's bike and Gizmo's elbow grease to perform this "test". ( I thought it was a smart way to get my bike waxed without any effort... on my part! - Shadow)

After we made sure the bike was fairly clean and dry, we were ready to begin. The biggest thing to remember about Scooter Juice Spray Wax is that a little goes a long way. It comes in a spray bottle that puts out a very fine mist. Scooter Juice is such a high professional grade product that you can feel the difference immediately. Gizmo: This stuff goes on so lightly, I wasn't sure if I was putting enough on. But when you start spreading it with the cloth and wiping it off... well.. you could feel SUCH a difference between what was done and what wasn't that it was amazing!

We waxed half of the tank first and left half un-waxed. On the waxed side, the microfiber cloth slid off every time we put the cloth on that side of the tank. The un-waxed side, on the other hand, had no trouble holding the cloth!

The spray wax performed beautifully putting it on. We could easily see how little of this high quality wax you would have to use in comparison with most of the "off the shelf" products out there. Paste and other spray waxes force you to put on a coat and wait until it dries and then buff it off. Scooter Juice uses a lot less product and a lot less time because you mist it on lightly and then buff it off right away! This means it cost less per use people!

Now we came to the next step of the test for which we had to have the help of Mother Nature. Florida being what it is this time of year, we were quickly obliged! Today we were lucky to have just a light rain instead of some torrential downpour. The Scooter Juice performed admirably there too. We sat back and watched as the rain beaded up and ran off the bike quite nicely.

Gizmo: We did the bike and it didn't seem like we used hardly any out of the bottle. It put a slick shine on the bike that you could feel as you ran the cloth over it. It beaded up in the rain and dried quickly and easily after the rain. I like it! My bike next?
