Funny you say this. I have 2 cans, and after spraying rubbing repeatedly posted this.
Thanks though.

The lazy man method is just hot water on a towel and let it sit for 15 minutes. Nothing special, no need to carry anything, and every Hotel and Motel I've ever stayed at has plenty of both. KISS.

With such a large fairing with crevices upon crevices, I would think it hard to get all area at once.
Are you sure this isn't the poor man's method? LolNot doubting it works for you man.

Plexus is what I use on both my face shield and windscreen. Freedom shields had a sheet in the box that said they recommend it. I see on their site they now recommend Bug Slide.

I just use Simple Green. Spray it on and let it sit for 10-15 minutes and scrub with a rag. Might need to do it a couple times. I’ve never found anything that takes them off like magic.
