This is what you want to use. Keep it off your paint.

Nope.  No delete.  Too many replies.  Not prudent.  It would make me crazy as well.

Maybe the radiator guard helps keep it somewhat cleaner, but I do always hose mine off each time I wash the bike. I use that S100 stuff, works pretty darn good too.
