I've never worked on a Victory but my 2 Kawasaki's and one Suzuki has really hard clear coat.

hard meaning you had to use a aggressive combo? or alot of pressure? or both?

I know this does not answer your question, but at the Victory factory they use Optimum products.

Both. Like a 3 stepper and stiff pads.

hmmm well i wonder how the gloss it products will work? do I just use the cyclo pads with my hands and rub it in?

I wouldn't use the Cyclo pads by hand. I'd get an applicator without a stiff backing. At least for me it seems to be easier to manage when detailing by hand.

Any chance you have a link to that info, etc? I just told my dad how to use ONR on his car, and he's thinking about using it on his bike. Thanks.
