    Pam is dumb. Clean polish and good wax. Then clean with dryer sheets and your bike will smell spring fresh too

    During the summer I will get every color bug you can think of pastered on the windshield and fairing. All I do is take an old bath towel get it soaked in plain ole water and lay it on the windshiel and fairing,. Let it lay on there for about 45 minutes and the bugs just wipe off.

    My wife has had the glass cleaner downstairs for a few years.
    Talked to Zan today. He said he has been using it on his windshield and faring since last July and it don't have anything in it to hurt the bike.
    One of the main thing he uses it for it gittin bugs off.
