I have had good results with "Rain-x Bug & Tar Prewash Gel". Spray it on, wait two or three minutes and rinse it off.

I use the wet towel on the fairing. But S100 detail spray will get the stubborn stuff off with no elbow grease.

+ 2 on the wet towel.

Just soak, wring out 80% drape over faring, get all your other stuff together, cup of coffee or cold beverage, return and wipe them all off smooth as silk.

Then the usual 1 hour full detail, you will learn to clean these machines, just as quick as a rifle if you are **** as I am......
Ride On...........
