If you RUB use wax first a little rubbing is not going to hurt your Posing Harley. Clean old wax off and put new wax on. Just have your wife do it for you. You will not understand.

In TX we have what some call "luvbugs" and "mustard bugs" during the early summer. they make a huge mess of everthing!! During that time i use a fairing bra (been using for 3 years ) i have not seen a scratch yet from the bra. The rest of the year i'm +1 on the warm towel, wipe off clean and wax. I have been using the S100 paste wax and the fairing still looks like the day i bought the bike.
