I can attest to the quality of this product. It makes your bike feel BEYOND smooth. It's awesome.
And I usually only go thru a 16oz bottle a season. But that of coarse depends on how much you use.

I don't know man... I've been using http://www.nowet.com/ for YEARS and it provides a pretty unbeatable clean. It takes very little to get the job done. The tricky part is finding a place to get it.

Shit looks awesome, and with all the shit they said WASN'T in it, I wonder what the hell it is in it.

Thanks Chris. After trying to clean all the bugs off the V-strom (for the first time since I've owned the bike), I said F it and ordered some of this. I'll post up and let you all know how well it works, because if it can clean the bugs off the Strom, it can clean them off anything. :lol: Appreciate the coupon code!!

You ride a GS now, we are going to have to wipe this clean shit from your memory banks. This word no longer exists for you. :lol:

Do you know who you're talking to? This woman is seriously OCD. Like, takes a toothbrush to nooks and crannies in motorcycle wheels OCD. I know - she kept my bike for me during my first deployment, and I got it back cleaner than when I first bought it. :lol:

I have a form of OCD, except it's called CDO.
You know, where the letters are in order like they're supposed to be.

My bad... I'm not OC...er, CDO like y'all are. :nee:

Well now she needs to learn to OCD in the opposite direction, make sure all the nooks and crannies are dirty.

thanks. I've asked a few folks here (locally) if anyone had used it and no one had. wasn't sure if it would work. I'll give it a try this year. I hate cleaning bugs off mirrors and frame rails and gas tank etc.

I helped with this last year: http://www.bmwmoa.org/rally10/events_seminars_cool_stuff/the_gs_anti_concourse
We had big yellow and red DISQUALIFICATION stickers that said: Disqualified, reason: TOO CLEAN. "A clean GS is a dirty shame"

It came in today, just got in from trying to clean the bike. It worked ok, but keep in mind I have nearly 1 year old bugs all over my bike. It took several applications, but did work better than Plexus. I still had to take some finish restorer to the bike to get rid of some of the bug stains, but that still didn't get them all. I'll have to let you all know how it works when trying to clean bugs that are a lot younger. :lol:
However, I've also had the mindset of "it's a dual sport, why clean it?"

It works better Capt, once nicely coated with the bug slide. I'm sure you can feel how slippery smooth it makes the fairing.

I wash my ZX6r about 3 times year. It's usually caked in tire balls, which is a PITA to get off from the undertail.

I bought some of this based on your review gas man.. I'll give it a try and post my findings on here.. There's nothing I hate more than constantly washing my vehicles.. and even then all the bug guts stays on..

Well I was using it first... then Caveman, after he used some of mine, now he also swears by it.
I figured out of all the things I post here... this would work for all the fairing'ed sportbikes.

Yup it works great.. I had some bug guts even after I scrubbed over and over with soap and water.. one spray with this and 1 min later.. beautiful shine and perfectly clean! :boobs:
How long have you been using this? this seems too good to be true.. does it make the paint fade prematurely or something?

Going on 2 years... for me and 1 yr on Cavemans.
Did you like how nice the surface feels afterwards?

That sounds scary. slippery doesn't belong on a bike..

Feels like I just put a nice coat of wax on it.. yeah it feels great..
Gotta love cleaning and waxing all in one, with no drying!
Thanks man!
