Cool

I keep a generic 32oz spray bottle in the garage. Add about 3oz of Dawn and fill w/water. Works great for Loy's of stuff.

Bug Slide and Pig Snot. Who's getting paid to name these products?

+1 on the wax then wet microfiber towel. Also +1 on the half/half H2O2.

I learned about this here, on this forum.

Meguiar' s Ultimate Wash & Wax Anywhere.





Just started using this last year and I'm extremely pleased with the results. I use it on metal, plastic, fiberglass and the windshield. This amount lasts a long time when using on bikes. Always use microfiber clothes. Spray on, let set to dissolve bugs. Wipe off to remove debris and dry. Then using a clean clothe to polish it to a real nice shine. Sold at all "thrifty" stores like Walmart and Meijers.

It'll clean the haze off the windshield and shine it up like new again.
