Are the fiber soaps any better? I have tried hand washing and washing machine with laundry soap. The bug guts just don't come out. I use mine mainly for cleaning windshield and fairing after a ride.

My bike is ceramic coated so I use the ECH20 as a wash, 1:10 ratio using distilled water, and then use EliXir as the detailer. I wash with Cobra edgeless, and Cobra red trimmed for detail. For my chrome I use Mother's California Gold, then chemical guys microfibers, two different types, edgeless and edged. Since they're all bascially color coded I don't get them mixed up. Wizards bug release for after the bug collecting trips. I use Rags To Riches when I wash the microfibers which gives them a good cleaning. I tumble dry low in the dryer with furzappers which collects most of the lint are re-usable. Not a cheap endeeavour to buy all at once, but everything lasts a long time except the EliXir. That lasts awhile depending on how often you wash your bike. This was what my detail guy uses so I figured I was good to go.

$35/12 on amazon. At first I thought $$$$. But then I looked most are 6 packs for around 13-15. So maybe little more than some, but not as bad as my first reaction
