Soak a towel in warm water and put it on the fairing and let it sit for 30 minutes. That should loosen up the guts. I have used "Goo Be Gone" or "WD40". Wet the area, let it soak in and then try to get them off.

Soap and water.. Then I spray a little bit of detail wax on the spot and it wipes right off. I hit the fairing with the spray wax when I am done washing it everytime and they hardley stick any more... I use this stuff called Pro 1 and its the slickest stuff I have ever used.

The ultimate bug remover.....Sit down and get ready for this.....I've used it many times.........It will amaze you, confound you, mesmerize you............

























PLEDGE and a micro fiber cloth.......for real. Try it, then let me know what you think.

After every time you clean those bugs off lay down a couple coats of wax.....that ought to help them come off the next time.

A guy came by our dealership selling this "Miracle glaze in bottle" It was yellow, and smelled like lemons. I said "Dammit man! I can buy lemon pledge at the dollar store alot cheaper than $.10.00 a bottle!" Your right though....pledge does work nicely as a between washing detailer and bug remover...


nogood o~`o

I've had very good luck with Meguiar's "Quick Detail". It seems to soften the bug remains and not disturb the wax.
What's the last thing on a bug's mind when he hits your windshield? His a$s!!!!

You are correct - pledge will work.....most important is soaking - even a heavy duty glass cleaner should take it off.....make sure you use a soft cloth though.
