Ok so this is really lazy but has anyone come up with a good way to clean only the fairing? Most of the time everything on the bike looks good except the fairing looks like it's never been washed. I'm sure someone will have a good idea. The last cleaning idea I got from this site, using a leaf blower to dry, was awesome.

 

I will sometimes get done riding and take a microfiber cloth and hot water and drape it over the bugs and let it soften them and then use a separate micro fiver towel and hot water to wipe them off and dry.

 

I keep mine waxed really good. That helps the bugs come off easier. In between washes, I use a quick detailer spray and micro fiber towel to clean it.

 

I have not sprayed water on a motorcycle in over 5 years.

I ride in the rain, but I don't "wash".

I use Harley's spray cleaner, and ICE synthetic liquid polish. I have zero issues getting bugs off, and it only takes 2 minutes to clean the outer fairing.

 

Many one touch/quick detail sprays are good for that. I've found a mist and towel is good for all the most stubborn bugs....and it leaves a nice shine.
I buy the white bar towels at Sams club. Cheap, you get a lot and they're soft!

 

Just spray Bugslide or a quick detailer and wipe with a microfiber towel.

 

No problems with swirl marks with any of these methods?

 

I love Hunter's Bug Kuter, it's foamy but wipes off easy and leaves a shine almost like Wizzards.

 

I'm with this!

 

lemon Pledge, after every ride wipe on buff off. Works great
