The website says it works as a quick detailer also??? Or are you using it mainly to get bugs off?
Both... I'm mainly using it after riding though.

A bottle of leather conditioner. spray on when you leave, including windshield. Don't touch bike till you get where u get there. Wash it off.

We did 2 big trips last year and cleaned the bikes every night.  Got lazy towards the end and starting going to the car wash. 8)   Knocked all the big stuff off and then just hit it with the Lucas detailer and presto/shiny ;D

Plexus - take the small can with you.  Just completed a two weeker on the SERG.  Friend brought a can of Plexus.  After a while we were using it for all sorts of things.  It even took tar off my floorboard.  It cleans and leaves a really smooth finish kind of like Harley Gloss.

Plexus!  I always carry a small can and a soft cloth.  Works great!  Clean my winshield everyday so the bugs don't pit it.  The rest of the bugs get washed off when I get back home.

Try riding in Alaska if you want the real bug experience, about every 100 miles heading north to Fairbanks you have to stop to clean the bug butts off the windshield, soak it with invisaglass wait and wipe, by the time you get there the only solution is to pressure wash and sun wash and let it soak.
