thanks. I've asked a few folks here (locally) if anyone had used it and no one had. wasn't sure if it would work. I'll give it a try this year. I hate cleaning bugs off mirrors and frame rails and gas tank etc.

I helped with this last year: http://www.bmwmoa.org/rally10/events...anti_concourse

We had big yellow and red DISQUALIFICATION stickers that said: Disqualified, reason: TOO CLEAN. "A clean GS is a dirty shame"

:lol:

It came in today, just got in from trying to clean the bike. It worked ok, but keep in mind I have nearly 1 year old bugs all over my bike. It took several applications, but did work better than Plexus. I still had to take some finish restorer to the bike to get rid of some of the bug stains, but that still didn't get them all. I'll have to let you all know how it works when trying to clean bugs that are a lot younger. :lol:

However, I've also had the mindset of "it's a dual sport, why clean it?"

It works better Capt, once nicely coated with the bug slide. I'm sure you can feel how slippery smooth it makes the fairing.

I wash my ZX6r about 3 times year. It's usually caked in tire balls, which is a PITA to get off from the undertail.

I bought some of this based on your review gas man.. I'll give it a try and post my findings on here.. There's nothing I hate more than constantly washing my vehicles.. and even then all the bug guts stays on..

Well I was using it first... then Caveman, after he used some of mine, now he also swears by it.

I figured out of all the things I post here... this would work for all the fairing'ed sportbikes.

Yup it works great.. I had some bug guts even after I scrubbed over and over with soap and water.. one spray with this and 1 min later.. beautiful shine and perfectly clean! :boobs:

How long have you been using this? this seems too good to be true.. does it make the paint fade prematurely or something?

Gas Man 04-14-2011 08:56 PM

Going on 2 years... for me and 1 yr on Cavemans.

Did you like how nice the surface feels afterwards?

That sounds scary. slippery doesn't belong on a bike..
