Default Newest windshield bug cleaner

Hi guys; I was told the other day that hydrogen peroxide will clean the bugs off windshields better than anything else. I was also told that that is what is in HD windshield spray bottles for the same thing only there is a great difference in price. Any of you guys try the peroxide? Guess I will have to try it myself to see how it works.

I use it - works just fine at 50/50 or 40/60 mix with plain H2O. I also use it on the fairing and anywhere else there are bugs.

If you put it in a spritzer bottle make sure its a dark color or tape over it as light kills the peroxide and renders it useless after a while.

I soak a micro fiber cloth in warm/hot water and wipe the bugs off with ease. then wipe again with a dry micro fiber. i never was good at math to mix something 50/50 or 60/40. Just to much brain work involved! JK
