Well now she needs to learn to OCD in the opposite direction, make sure all the nooks and crannies are dirty.

I helped with this last year: http://www.bmwmoa.org/rally10/events...anti_concourse

We had big yellow and red DISQUALIFICATION stickers that said: Disqualified, reason: TOO CLEAN. "A clean GS is a dirty shame"

It came in today, just got in from trying to clean the bike. It worked ok, but keep in mind I have nearly 1 year old bugs all over my bike. It took several applications, but did work better than Plexus. I still had to take some finish restorer to the bike to get rid of some of the bug stains, but that still didn't get them all. I'll have to let you all know how it works when trying to clean bugs that are a lot younger.

However, I've also had the mindset of "it's a dual sport, why clean it?"

It works better Capt, once nicely coated with the bug slide. I'm sure you can feel how slippery smooth it makes the fairing.

I gave up cleaning the bike and painted it with this.
