Default I've seen several folks recommend Drier Sheets...

for wiping bugs off your bike/windshield, etc. Are you guys referring to new drier sheets or used ones? I just tried a new one on my bike and I think all I did was make a mess...maybe even put some small scratches in the paint/on the windshield. Are you supposed to get them wet or something? Should I be using used drier sheets...or stick to soaking them with wet towels? Thanks!

Wet them first, otherwise it's just dry cloth to cause scratches. I used one last weekend on my bike to get love bugs off. It worked perfectly and left no scratches at all.

Used ones they are softer and all the stuff (fabric softeners) in them is used up.

I heard of using them in your helmet to remove helmet head smells, but never heard or would I try them on the bike.

Used moistened sheets work really well

And if you ever want to get smells out of your car, put some under the seats. Of course it helps if you replace cabin filters etc.
