I found a new way to remove bugs, read about this and I was skeptical but I thought I would give it a try. You fill a spray bottle with warm water and then stuff a fabric softener dryer sheet in the water give it a shake and spray it on the bugs. Let it sit for a couple of minuts make shure it stays wet of course, and then wash off with a mit. I was amazed one wipe and the bugs were off, no scrubbing and not a trace was left. I have spent a lot of money on products that dont eaven come close to this, very cheap and effective. Plus it doesnt strip off wax. This tip came from an aircraft pilot, imagine the amount of bugs they have to wash off

 

hmmm,

I usually soak a rag/towel etc. in water and drap it over the fairing while setting up camp or moving into room

wait a few minutes, then wipe off.

I have seen fabric softener products stain cloth and cause streaking etc.

I'll hold off for consensus.

... I had a windscreen ruined by a commercial motorcycle cleaning product i read about on the forums

I do the same thing but use a 50/50 mixture if water and hydrogen peroxide. Let it sit for 10 minutes and the bugs wipe right off.

 

What he said, works great and cheap...

 

for years i've been simply wetting the front of my veh.'s then wiping them off w/a wet dryer sheet. works great and never had a problem w/paint or plastic. if u use it on your windshield water will bead off just as if u had used rain-x. on my denim paint i use the denim cleaner from harley...works great!

 

Main ingredient in dryer sheets/fabric softener...wax

Just sayin

 

Peroxide works better b/c it breaks down proteins...bug guts = protein.

 

I've always just used a wet rag with warm water to soften and wipe the bugs off. I dry with a microfiber and that leaves a crystal clear surface. The peroxide idea is fascinating though. Will have to try that one.

 

Lucas Slick Mist... Been using it for three years. Simple and easy. Also good for cleaning up the rest of the bike when needed.
