Use it all the time in between washing & waxing.Works great.Melts the bugs off,doesn't streak.Leaves the surface nice and slick.Kinda pricey though.

I bought some once and refilled the container with windex. I'm not sure if there is any difference between the two. For the money I'll stick with the windex in the bugslide container... It is a good compact spray bottle and a decent microfiber towel!!!

MY HD dealer recommended it to me after I ran through a million lovebugs on a ride here in FL. Haven't tried it yet though.

It works great. I use it on the bikes,boat and cars. It will streak on black and tinted windows but will clear up with a little more elbow grease. It also works great on the black trim on autos

Can you use it on a lexan shield?
Never mind; I see you can. I might give this a try.

I bought some tried it, works okay but didn't impress me much. The smell is good though.

Okay, got around to trying this finally. I noticed I still had some bug goo in some of the frame nooks and crannies and the top of my front cylinder's valve cover. Overall, easy to use and leaves a nice shine. As someone previously mentioned it does smell good. As for performance, I think it was no better or worse than other methods for removing bug and tar residue. I think my preferred method is still the wet dryer sheet. The shine is no better or worse than Turtle Wax Ice, Mother's products or Meguier's. Affordability wise, it's expensive, and I seemed to use a lot of it. Now I haven't ridden to collect anymore road trash to see how easy it is to remove bug goo and etc., after it's been applied. So, in summary w/o a road clean-up test, I think I'd stick with what I've been using and save my money.
