Default Which Wax

Ok, it was sugested to me to put a good coat of wax on my Fairing to protect it from those nasty bugs that don't respect a new bike and commit suicide on the new fairing....
Any sugestions....?

i've heard a multitude of suggestions and you probably have seen a bunch on here too....i use the S-100 paste wax or the Turtle Wax Ice spray wax and detailer too. not bad results. i think i've even heard of some folks using glade furnature wax to help remove some of those stubborn bugs. i think any good grade wax would do the trick. i just do a quick detailer in between regular waxings.

Any wax from Mothers, Meguaires, or Adams, will work on your Harley.

All great suggestions here. I use Turtle Wax Black Box on my black Electra Glide. Very happy with the results!

If you're one of those guys who likes that bright, shiny, wet look. The look that'll make everyone turn to see your shine. To make guys jealous and women grin, then go for Turtle Wax Black Detailer

I'm a big fan of Pig Snot for a wax. Easy on, easy off. In between wax jobs, spray it down with Lucas Oil Slick Mist. The next time that you want to wipe it down, just spray a little more Slick mist on it and the bugs seem to melt away. Really works well on the windscreen too.

On my black bike nothing I have tried looks better than Turtle Wax Black Box.

This stuff is great on black. Great shine and hides those little micro scratches you get on the darker colors.

Paste wax I like Meguiar's carnuba and synthetic products. I've been using them for many years on all of my vehicles. Between waxes I use ProtectAll or Original's.

For bugs it's hard to beat a 50/50 mix of peroxide and water. Amazing!
