you wont be disappointed nothing Ive found works as good.

Great stuff. Best I've found and I've tried many.
-
Works Great !!!!
-
Ditto on all accounts. Best stuff I've ever used.
-
Best stuff ever invented ! I haven't used water on the bike in over a year, BugSlide handles everything. IMHO it makes the bike shine better than Glare products.

Super great stuff. 1st used it during 105th (2008 Aug) on ride to N.C. and back to Milwaukee. After using it Noth'n sticks to windshield, front of tank, forks, eng guard, nut'n!! I buy the big bottle now.
-
I thought that stuff worked great. So when I ran out I bought another brand from Lucas. NOW I know just great Bug Slide really is.
-
Well I guess I had better get some. Seen it but never used it.

Bought the package bottle and Cleaning cloth yesterday!

You won't be disappointed! I clean the bugs off right after a ride and the only time I need to take the hose and water to my MC is after I get caught in a rain. :P

Sounds like a great product. Where did you get it?
You can buy direct from Bugslide (http://www.bugslide.com/home.html) or click on the dealer link on the left of that page to see if it is offered locally for you.

I just ordered the gallon jug and the 16 oz spray bottle. With all the great reviews, I figured I couldn't go wrong.

Neighbor bought some and used it on his truck, seems to me to be a remarketed silicone with a cleaner additive. Sorry but I will pass on spraying silicone on everything. Oh his windshield now has a "pattern" where the wipers run, not a problem on the bike but when humid or dew it looks like crap.
-
BugSlide has NO silicone in it, straight from the company's mouth. They just won't tell you what IS in it.
-
X2 / No Silicone in Bugslid !!!!
-
:P Whats wrong with silicone?? I have seen some pretty sweet examples of it!

For those who already use Bugslide, do you also wax and poilish your bike and then use bugslide or do you only use budslide and that's it?

I use wax also... Bugslide is (IMO) a quick detailer.

I agree its a quick detailer. I still wash my bike, wax it on occasion and use other products like swirl remover, paint sealant (as needed).
-
I wax from time to time but maybe wash with water once a year or after being stuck in a muddy rain. Just BugSlide week after week.
-
Cool thanks for the replies.

I've been a Mequiers guy for years...but my wife has a 100% black 69' beetle and it leaves a film and streaks. I had bought some BUG SLIDE for the bike as a "all purpose" detailer for on the road. Used it on the Beetle and it made the black look deeper and cleaner than ever....no film...no residue. I need to order a "bulk pack" from them....vs. paying stealership price for bottles. I love it.
I still use Mequiers other products, but Bug Slide works!

O.k. Folks.
Placed an order earlier in the week and it's arrived. Will be curious to see how well it performs ! :nixweiss:

I am really liking this stuff. It works awesome!!
-
Just the spray or does the cloth do something special?
-
Does anybody know if they will be at Myrtle Beach bike week?????

Nothing special (that I know of) about their micro-fiber clothe... I've used other micro-fiber clothes w/the same results.

I also use it I keep a small pump bottle of it that I got through iron pony motorsports it came with the microfiber cloth I keep it in my right side lower. I show up for a local bike night pop it out spray off the fairing and wipe off them little bugs to shine my bike right up. You will need to by it by the gallon cause your buddies will be borrowing it all the time if they hang out at your house like the seem to do at mine. Some how my fridge always has extra beer in it also so I guess there is a trade off unless some cheap skate brings over natural light. :drink:
-
Bug Slide is the best I've found so far, and smells the best too!
-
How does Bug Slide compare to Protectall?
-
I buy the stuff direct also - much cheaper by the gallon than at the stealer. Free shipping as I recall too. I keep a small bottle in the bag at all times.
-
i ordered after reading your reviews stuff works great thanks
-
Recently tried it myself, works pretty good. :2vrolijk_21:
-
I'm on my second gallon. Seems to work better if I apply it enough to get the bugs and dust off, let it dry for a minute or two, then use a dry micro fiber cloth to polish or buff it. That seems to leave a better shine on the paint and chrome.

It works well. I typically use it when the bike is extremly buggy, other than that I use Wizard Wipe and Shine.
-
After trying it and working so well to keep our bikes clean in such a quick amount of time, we are now selling it thru my wife's business.

I am also interested in a gallon :2vrolijk_21:

Good stuff, I tried it the first time this summer and will agree it works really good. Don't think I'm ready for a gallon though unless I started using it on the other vehicles as well. Course you folks that live in more buggy states prolly need it more often. How does it work on the old Love Bugs?
-
I called Bug Slide today and talk to Grant the owner price for 1/2 gal is $ 59.95 + Shipping / 1 gal is $100.00 + Shipping

That would be correct on pricing but have found most people don't like the price of 1 gallon plus the shipping cost nor do they go thru enough of it to buy in such a volume at a time. Most may use 32oz or up to 64oz during a riding season.

That may be true for those north of the Mason Dixon Line, but in the deep south one bike night ride will consume a 32oz bottle on just the front-end, LOL. :2vrolijk_21:
Bug Slide is good stuff.
An alternate we get around here is "Cajun Shine" which works just as well at bug removal. here's their site if your interested[url]http://www.cajunshineall.com/url]
I've used both for years and they work equally well. :2vrolijk_21:

Those must be some bad a** bugs. In that case, I stand corrected that it may depend upon how buggy your riding conditions are in how much you may consume. It does work great on whatever your bug volume may be. :bananarock:

I just ordered the 3 piece kit thru Amazon, got it, and will use it tomorrow to clean my bike before our first ride.

Quick question Bug Slide users...We just waxed our bikes with Ultra Blue, should we put the Bug Slide on before we ride, or just use it to clean after we ride, and will this take the wax off. I just love the Ultra Blue and was wondering if I should use their Detailer to maintain the shine? I already bought the Bugslide, just not sure when to apply it as we don't want to ruin our Ultra Blue shine, it did an awesome job. Judy?

I use Bugslide after my rides to get the road stuff off the bike. It works great and I can't imagine it hurting any wax job.

Thanks Joe for the quick reply, I think it's time to ride, I'll use Bugslide when we get home... :2vrolijk_21:

Sue, BugSlide won't remove the wax! Use it as soon as you get home to get the bugs off when they are soft. It still works just as good the next day but it is easier when they are soft.

X3 on using it after each ride... (also carry a small bottle on the bike and use it if I notice to many bugs while I'm out riding). I park the bike wait for it to cool off some and then get a cold refreshment (:drink:) and "Bugslide" the bike and put the cover on it.

With all the praises of Royal Blue I wonder if the new Detailer would do the same job of removing bugs etc.?

Thanks for ALL your replys, I have the small bottle to carry on my trike, the big spray bottle for the garage, and the 32 oz refill bottle of Bugslide, so I (and bignutted) will use it on our ride if it needs, and when we get home. Thanks again for all the quick replys, I guess I mow the lawn today and not hide in the garage putting on Bugslide....lol

I use the Royal blue Detailer ... bought a case of it ... love it ... all the bugger's come right off ... detailed after every ride before I put the cover back on ...

I use it and love the Bug Slide

I switched from Bugslide to Royal Blue Detailer. Bug removal is the same but the Royal Blue leaves a better shine.

Ok, having used Bugslide after reading all the pro comments on it, I just don't see the hype. I find it can streak a bit too. I'm not talking about for removing bugs, but as a general quick detailer. Thoughts?

That has not been my experience. Are you wiping it on and immediately wiping it off or waiting for it to dry? I wipe it on w/one microfiber cloth and immediately wipe it off w/another... haven't experienced any streaking at all.

I wipe it off immediately as you do. Do you use it on chrome and paint as I do?
I'm not talking about bug removal, more for polishing purposes and to remove light dust.

Yes, I do... Are you waiting until the bike cools down (especially the chrome engine parts)? I use it after each ride (as long as I don't get caught in the rain). I put the bike up, plug in the battery tender, let it cool down (hour or more), then get a cold drink and go use the product on the bike while I enjoy the cold beverage :beerchug: After that I put the cover on it.

My experience is like Gary's. Although My cold beverages start flowing the moment I get back from a ride, not an hour later. :P

Got a question about this "Bug Slide". If a bug gets this stuff on him, and he falls to the ground, and I happen to step on him, will I immediately slip and fall on my azz?
A nice coat of pure carnauba on a clean surface will also help bugs and other stuff slide right off btw.
Jerry ;)

Only if you have a "bug @$$". :P :D :D
I don't think any of us (at least me) are saying/implying that this product replaces a good wax job. This is a quick detail product that can be used between those full detail (washing and/or waxing).

I have been using a product called Slick Mist Speed Wax that is made by Lucas Oil for nearly as long as I have been riding my Harleys (5 yrs). I have been more than happy with it because of the cost and effectiveness. It is a spray on, wipe off product that is pleasant and easy to use. But just like anything else, you're always wondering if there is anything out there that is better. So while reading about cleaners that other riders are using I came across this product called Bugslide. It got many good reviews so I broke down and bought a trial supply. Although it did work good, and left a slick feeling on the surface of the bike. I didn't find that it was that much better that it was worth the cost that is about 2.5 times the cost of my Slickmist. I clean my bike after every ride as I feel that it would be a shame to let something so beautiful not look it’s best. Needless to say, I use quite a bit of the stuff. As most people do, I research what I buy to get the most for my money. After spending hours looking around, I have found that SPEEDWAY MOTORS is the cheapest of anyone. On a product such as this it doesn’t matter where you get it because it’s all going to be the same thing. Typically, you will see this product at Walmart or Autozone at around 8 to 9 dollars for a 24 oz bottle. At Speedway, it is $6.99. If you want an even better price, you can buy it by the case (6 bottles) for $38.99 witch brings the cost down to $6.49 a bottle. When I normally use 15 to 20 bottles a year, the savings make it worth buying by the case. Who doesn’t like saving money??

I have used Bugslide for many years and have found it works on old dried bugs as good as fresh ones! But, I believe it’s an individual choice and what ever works for you is the BEST deal. ;D
