Our local dealer told me they use "Bom" on the windshields (they demonstrated for me and was pretty impressive how quickly bugs came off).

Yep, mine suggested the same thing.

i like to give my windshield this treatment once a month or so as bugs are really bad in central illinois this time of year.
Where in central IL? I'm from Bloomington. Markcuda is from Decatur and TerrT is from Effingham. Art

Only one thing to use: PLEXUS.

It is by far the best!

Actually Art,

I live in Charleston, Markcuda lives in Clinton, and Wild Wally lives in Effingham. I know it gets confusing with all of us spread out so far.

I used to use Harley Glaze which works very well and does not scratch (actually seem to polish) but now I use Pig Glow (very good for all polishing and touch up).

P.S. We are getting enough people from Illinois to have our own rally this summer

I use water and a microfiber cloth (I get the cloths at Costco, about 10 for $8.00).

I have always used pledge or endust. It lifts grime and leaves your WS looking like new and reduces scratches. I have used these for years. Don't waste your $$ on high dollar products. This is the real deal guys.
