Wizzard products are great stuff get it all with your 10% discount Mist and Shine is great but if it is bug guts try the Bug Release http://shop.techncyclegear.com/Wizar...2-oz-22081.htm

Agree on the Lemon Pledge comment... does a great job, but do soak off any big bug's with a wet towel first.

1.Soften Bugs with wet towel first.

2.Pledge with microfiber towel.

3.Step back, drink beer & admire.

Not meant to disagree, but I have had great luck using the Wizzard's for bugs too! I keep a bottle in my bags and if I have bugs at fuel stops they get wiped off easily. The stuff has great lubricity to it.
I won't say the same thing for last weeks bugs though. LOL They likely need the Bug Release (which I have never tried).

I have heard that hydrogen peroxide does well on the older bugs.
I never think to try it until the bugs are already gone. D'oh!

S100 Special Surface cleaner and microfiber towel. Keep it in my saddlebags and it works great.

Not the right time of year to be talking about bugs on a windshield (maybe it is for the lucky basturds that live far enought south), but the some of the worst windshield scratches are from not waiting long enough for a warm wet towel to soften up the critters' shells....the shell is harder than polycarbonate or lexan....and a good paste wax after you gently get that mess cleaned off will make the next crop much easier to remove.

Plexus is a great product.

Lemon Pledge works fine, but around here it attracts hornets and yellowjackets.
