A good coating of bugs will repel dust for the most part.

But that's just me.

That is hilarious! But sadly, I am afraid it is more true than not for a lot of us!

The Wizard Products post is exactly what is wrong. Too many products!! Shouldn't need more than a good wax and something to use between the waxings.

{QUOTE} Uncle Scrooge: If cleaning it is enjoyable, I clean it. When it gets to be a chore, I don't. End of story.

I am trying to adopt the above philosophy! I've got the first part down, I just need to quit feeling quilty about the second part.

Clean it IF I feel like it, but riding is way more fun!

I live in Nevada the dust capitol of the west. All I have to do is wash the Red thing and the dust god says aha another one bites the "Dust"

Besides, mine really shines under the dust, so no big deal.

I use the quick detail spray in between wax jobs and it seems to keep the dust at bay.

HD has other colors?!!
