Thanks for the info, I'm going to try that.

I have a question. What was the last thing that bug saw BEFORE hitting your fairing ?

Be sure and use the 3% Hydrogen Peroxide solution found in your medicine cabinet, NOT the 30+% solution you find in a hair salon.....although blond HDs are rare!!! (as opposed to blonds ON HDs!!)

And for those of you concerned about the fine scratches in your paint, before using your microfiber or 100% cotton towel, please cut ALL, and I mean ALL, of the stitching off that towel. The stitching on 99.9% of all microfibers and cotton towels are nylon thread. The nylon thread "cuts" the clear coat on your bike and that is where all the swirls come from, you are actually putting fine "cuts" in your clear and when the light hits them at the proper angle, you see the "swirls".
