I always like it when people wont try something because it cost $30 but dont mind spending 20,000 plus on their bikes. I have a friend who spent 40,000 on a new car but thought spending $10 at the car wash was crazy to each there own.

Why spend 30 bucks on something that you can get for basically free? Water and a towel is free, and it works better than anything you can buy.

I dont understand how the two are related. $20K for my bike was not a waste of money.

$30 for a drop of bug cleaner, which cant possibly do any better than a wet rag then Pledge is a waste of money.

I bought some and tried it, didn't do a lot for me, but it has a great smell.

I agree with the wet towel, hot is better. And they're readily available on the road at any motel you might stop at. And the cost is below belief.
