Hey Y'all Straight out of the Gate I want to Thank Mike Phillips & Robert Diterlizzi from Impressions fine detailing for their help on this one . I am very fortunate to live here in Stuart ,Florida,& have access to these guys.
So here is the subject not sure if this link is gunna work.Rob Harley Detailer (https://www.robharleydetailer.com/#/new-gallery-26/)
So I take in theis 2006 Street glide just looking at it I know its a mess but its sticky. So sticky that when I went to wash it .it ripped the microfiber wash mitt out of my hand & stuck to the bat wing!
Then is looks like soap dried on it . by now I am stressed .
I throw everything I can think of at it Mineral spirits , Isopropyl alcohol, Denatured Alcohol, Cleaner waxes, compounds ,Goo B gone.Just short of getting out the Super Duty Compound & a Rotary.
So then I put in A call to Rob & Mike . Next day I go to Robs shop & we spend Hours bouncing product after Product on this We find that RUPES M 501 Degrease straight up with a lot of elbow grease takes off the sticky goo.
We also come to the conclusion the Batwing ,Side Covers & Hard Saddlebags are ABS Plastic if we tried to polish it at all it would haze up .NO PAINT ,JUST PLASTIC.
Exhausting everything in Robert's shop I am about to eat my gun I go to AutoGeek & meet with Mike Phillips He breaks out Pinnacle Paint Works Cleansing Lotion & instantly its looking good! then went over it with H D SPEED (which smells like grape bubble gun BTW) ANd just like that I put the safety back on my side arm & Holstered it.(KIDDING)
Then I asked mike later how long this will last? 2-3 months was the reply.
So I took the chance & top coated it with Meguiars ultimate paste wax to give it a longer life. All of these chemicals played very well together . You could go as far as Ultimate Quick wax & Quick Detailer too.
Later in speaking with a Harley Tech I learned these Bikes had these problems even if they are painted.
In the 55+ hours I spent on the bike I met a guy who used to own a high end body shop. He told me that Rolls Royce experimented with this also , He went on to say he spent days on this rolls trunk lid ,got it to look perfect 3 days later it turned back.
So I hope in the Future someone will find this article & it save them a few tons of grief.
PEACE!
