Default Cleaning products

Have you used or do you use bugslide on your ride? I hear it a great cleaner and safe to use on all things including the windshield. Or do you prefer the Dealer endorsed products?

yes buglisde...it works great.

But i'm fugal, so for my windshield, I just use a cotton washcloth soaked in warm water (rung out, but not dry), use the side to side action on the windshield, wait 1 minute, wipe off with clean cloth.
I bring the bugslide packets when going on trips

+1 on bugslide. I use that in most circumstances. But for the really stubborn bugs or just a lot of them, I use hydrogen peroxide sprayed directly onto the windshield and a unscented dryer cloth dampened with a little water. Try it. You'll thank me later.

On a BRAND NEW windshield, I treat with Cee Bailey's Rain Repellant MAX. (designed for aircraft windshields)

After a ride, clean with Novus 1, then a quick treatment with the Cee Bailey's product again.

It is A.M.A.Z.I.N.G. how easy the bugs come off...
