RE: How do you remove bug juice from fairing?
I thought that "honda cleaner" was pledge? Not kidding here. The pledge does work great. I used the Harley stuff its almost the same have to wipe with a clean micro cloth when done. When I clean it with pledge I do get a bug or to flyin around.

That cleaner everyone calls "Honda Cleaner" can now be purchased under another name. It is called Plexus. It works very well.

I also use Honda cleaner on my whole bike, I haven't washed it with water for at least 2 years. Spray on bugs & wait a short time & they come right off.

I keep a small spray bottle and towel in my side case. Usually when istop for gas I wipe down the windshield and fairing. This gives me at least a running start on those pesky bast%&$s. Me, I'm a fanatic, several friends EG's and RK's have yet to see a hose.

Bugs and Shine: Spray onBEHOLDfurniturepolishwith citrisand let it sit for a minute, softens up the bug gunk, then wipe to a sparkling shine. Works every time.
Winshield : Do you want your windshield to glisten and shine like the day you drove it off the showroom floor? ....my secret is LUCAS liquid polish. $13.50 a bottle. Designed for clear coat paintand glass. Shake well and put dozen or so dropson a clean cotton cloth, wipe and rubon your windshieldto polish those little scratchesto a glistening crystal clear shine. It polishes out the microscopic scratches and leave it looking brand new. I usally do mine twice for best results.

Wet fairing down in the shade.
take some liguid dish soap, using fingers rub it into the bug splats.
Let set a couple minutes.
Then using a wet microfibre cloth with dishsoap, apply a little elbow
grease and rub them off.
Rewax the fairing.

Pig Snot and a good wash. I too don't trust Simple Green on my bike. When my dad owned gas stations, we used to use that to clean oil off the cement floors. I've also heard great **** about the Honda Cleaner..

I usually put on a good coat of soap and water and let it soak with an ole t shirt over it and the windshield. Wax everyother time I wash it. Used lemon pledge on my Honda and it worked ok. I like Plexus for the windshield. I find that a good coat of wax goes a long way in preventing the little buggers from sticking...
