hmmm, scoot9 and scooter9 both swear by this stuff, and both have less than 5 posts......

i'm also interested in this hydrogen peroxide thing, full strength or diluted? what will it do to the lexan long term?

I guess using is believing...if you read the posts here, everyone that uses Bugslide likes it....Hmmm.....we all must be dealers and it's a huge conspiracy to get your money....

Default bugslide

been using it on everything but the tires. i bought the 16oz. spray bottle with the micro towel.when the towel gets dirty just use a bar of soap and scrub it between your hands, rinse it out,and then squeeze the water out and hang it up to dry.on a weekend trip i will spray the micro towel down to somewhat wet it and then seal it up in a qt. zip lock bag to keep it from drying out.when you stop you can just pull it out,use it,and then fold it up and put it back in the bag.great stuff! i bought the original 16oz. spray bottle and since have bought the qt. refill bottle.i've got two bikes i use it on and i'd say i use about 16oz. a year in 7,000 miles of riding.i have no affiliation with them and bought my first bottle at a bike gathering in 2006. haven't even replaced the micro towel yet!

I'm also a pilot and I've been using this stuff called BAAM (Bugs Away And More) for years on my airplane. It is the best stuff for getting bugs off the leading edges. Sprays on like water but works great and leaves a slight film that makes it much easier to clean in the future. Works great on lexan and plexiglass windscreens.
I also use it on my bike.
the website is www.baamproducts.com
I think you can only buy it on the internet.
Just another idea. I have nothing to do with them.

My detail shop specializes in exotic vehicles and most are black. Flouropolymers help reject dust, dirt and oils...

I've had a bottle of Bugslide for about a yr. now works good. I use it when I'm on the road, when I get back home I use the Lrg. wet towel method.
As for using the Hydrogen Peroxide, it eats Protein dead bugs = Protein
What Hydrogen Peroxide doesn't do is leave a slippery surface to help remove the bugs & junk.
