I do wax the fairing and front fender more often than the rest of the bike since those parts are on the leading edge so that could be the reason? It does get rid of those hard bug splats well though! Been using it for years with no ill effect. tip given by a professional detailer. Safe for cuts so.....

Default Just bought bug slide

My father recommended it to me. I bought a cvo breakout which has tons of chrome. I polished all that chrome and paint in 20 minutes to a high showroom shine and effortlessly I might add. I was very impressed. I'm sold for life at this point

It ain't bad, but it's a bit pricey.

My wife uses it on her trike. The fenders on that thing are the biggest bug catchers I've ever seen, plus it's white. If you use it regularly, the bugs seem to come off a lot easier.

I use it before every ride to clean face shield and windshield. It also does a great quick touch up on the fenders and tank between washing the bike.
