I had been using Bug Slide during the 2 seasons we get each year with those effbugs, and it is great just for that. A couple of weeks ago, we rode over to Alabama, and when parked, the bike next to mine literally glowed. All he uses is Bug Slide. So I got home and gave the scooter a good bath and then Bug Slide. Really makes a difference.

 

do you use it to remove bugs or after?

 

Both. I applied it after a wash job several times and I have used it after being covered in bugs. I carried it with me to California and kept the bike looking fresh with Bugslide.

 

There you go again, helping us spend our money on stuff we didn't even know we needed.

Got me for a bottle.


Would have been a good time of year to set up a group buy.

Hey its a HD Brian. Be happy you got away with under $100. :wink

 

We get tons of "Love Bugs" down here and if you leave them on for long they etch the paint. Bugslide and microfiber cloth are always in my bike in the summer. Good stuff.

 

So you using this stuff all over the bike?
I’ve used it for years on the windshield and maybe a quick clean of fairing, but never all over the whole bike.

Fairing, windshield, tank, fenders....

 

I'm on my way to get some, Thank's Mr Beam, for the info. I thought originally it was for windshield only.

 

Where are you guys buyin' Bug Slide?

 

All of the HD dealerships around me carry the stuff. I actually bought mine from JP Cycles because I had a gift card.

 

Got mine through Amazon

 

Of course you did..... :smile Probably had a drone deliver it....

 

Rode 67 miles today looking for Bugslide, did not find it, NO COMPLAINTS. Tomorrows another day, will persevere. I hit all the spots I thought might have had it. For the most part venders said they never heard of it. Find that hard to believe, because I've known of it.

 

Anybody know if Bugslide will take off my wax or not?

 

I doubt it will remove wax...

BugSlide offers 100s of uses. It is great for cleaning and polishing, while leaving a protective, microscopic coating on motorcycles, ATVs, farming equipment, cars (inside and out), boats, lawn mowers, mirrors, stainless steel, marble, granite and quartz counter tops, television screens, computers, laptops, cell phones, GPS screens, musical instruments and much more.

 

It will make your hemorrhoids shine!

Good for removing dingleberries!

It will leave your proctologist bewildered!

 

Beam, thank you for the info. Sounds like a wonderful product. But, it is stated to contain a "degreaser". So does Dawn dishwashing detergent. That's why Dawn does really well on my greasy plates that I may leave in the sink for a while before I or Cookie cleans out the sink. And the degreaser is also why Dawn will take the wax off your bike or cage. I will try a test area on my bike to see for sure whether or not it takes wax off.

 

I want a picture if you're gonna put the bike in the sink.

 

Sounds like Beam owns stock in Bugslide..... :laugh

 

Funny you bring up DAWN. Been using it on my boats for years, cuts bilge grease better than any product, and every time there is an oil disaster (EXON VALDEZ) Dawn is the major fix. Talking, saving wildlife here.

 

Just dont get caught using Dawn directly on the water from your boat, its illegal believe it or not. I mean like spraying it on fuel or oil you've spilled from your boat in particular but its also illegal to use it as a bilge cleaner if your boat is in the water. You can use it to wash your dishes and dump your grey water though.

Dawn is just a detergent. Those have a specific gravity of 1+ and work by encapsulating oil molecules, which have a SG of less than one & is why oils float. The detergent encapsulated oil molecule then sinks to the bottom, which makes it impossible to evaporate or recover and is the worst place it can be for the fishies as thats the quickest route into the food chain.

They used "dispersants" (detergent) on the Deepwater Horizon spill. It took a special federal permit and is now regarded as a huge mistake because in some areas there is now a layer of crude on the bottom several feet thick that is considered unrecoverable.

They didnt officially use dispersants on the Exxon Valdez spill itself but sunk a lot of crude by using them on cleaning boats and equipment. You can still find balls of crude on the beaches there today.

 

Beam...did you get a new marketing job...Bug Slide "Marketing Director" ...can work from home and not on their feet!!! :laugn

 

I like Bugslide and I also use Wizards Bug Release if I am using soap and water.

 

I like Bugslide and I too, am a fan of Wizards. Plus, Wizards is made in the great state of Minnesota. In fact, I haven't had a bug stick to my windshield or faring in over six months!!!

 

Funny, but true. I had a guy ask me at the last chapter lunch ride how I got my Ultra looking so good. He said someone told him 303 (Gold Eagle protectant) was real good for his cycle, so he did the whole bike - paint chrome and all with it. :loco Said it just didn't shine like mine.

 

Dang that stuff $xpensive! Think I'll stay with McGuires Ultimate detailer..... works well.

 

$59.99 for 64oz [emoji44]

That's what I bought this time. I had a 16oz bottle the first time. I liked it and bought a refill...It works well on my bike. I have a lot of different detailers and I like this the best...If you buy it and don't like it, don't come sniveling and whining to me. Nobody twisted your arm to make you buy it...Read my disclaimer in the original post...

 

I used to sell Wizards products in the auto paint store I managed. Great stuff. A little side story, about 10 years ago at Back to The 50's car show right after O'Rielly bought out Bumper to Bumper the big wigs never heard of Wizards as it was mostly Minnesota that carried it so they decided to clear out all the product at $1 a bottle. I bought a bunch and was going to go back and buy a whole bunch more. The Wizards rep was there and bought it all back himself.

 

You must have stayed at a Holiday Inn Express last night. [emoji16]

I use the stuff on my car too ! I gotta park next to a big Ash tree in my backyard and the local birds park in that Ash tree so the birds use my car as a target when they defecate ! The Bugslide doesn't prevent the birds from defecating but it makes it so much easier removing the defecate afterwards ! Now I just need to find a product that'll keep the birds from defecating. (without cutting the tree down).

 

I think the product you are seeking is called a pellet gun.

 

Or a .410

 

I was trying not to scare the hell out of the neighbors, assuming @SCHMIDTY shop is in-town.

 

My problem is that I also have bird feeders out in the backyard close to the Ash tree ! So I'm guessing that maybe I'm part of the problem ! I like the birdies, I just don't like the defecate part of it !

 

Well, if you can get the birds to drink the Bugslide, you'll have two problems solved!

 

an owl decoy will keep them from roosting in the tree at night for about three weeks. then must be moved every three weeks. bird movement during daylight hours is unaffected.

 

I don't know about those things buddy...... This is the decoy owl that I put on top of my building and I can only imagine that the pigeon that shit on this guy was laughing his ass off the whole time, lol! Guess I didn't move it often enough, huh?

 

Down here in the Phoenix valley we don't get much bug splatter but I wish they make "DUST Slide "

:devil. I'd like to try it next time.

Right now i have a gal of Quick Detailer to use up 1st :thumb
