Default Bug Remover

I found this stuff 2 years ago at Advanced Auto made by Purple Power. I think it's called Bug Off wax and wash. It comes in a green tinted spray bottle. I love this stuff. Spray it on the front of your bike (or where all the bugs splatter) while it's dry. Let it sit for a min or two and you can spray the dead bugs off with a regular garden hose.

So Whay to you guys use?

Take your car/bike wash soap mixed 10:1 with water. Place in a sprayer or two (keep one on the bike).

A soft rag soaked in real HOT water. Lay the rag over the bugs for a couple of minutes, and the bugs come right off without scrubbing. Works great on windshields too. and it's free!

Automotive Quick Detailer and a damp terry towel. The bugs almost fall off and I don't have to dry the whole bike from washing them off.

You AIN"T gonna believe this[:-] Wet the area down and take a sheet of fabric softner ( bounce, snuggle etc.) and wipe it down. It'll begin to suds up and NO SH#T, the bugs come off. Damnest thing I ever seen. Believe me it's "lovebug" season down here in southeast Texas and we use it on ours cars and trucks almost daily!!! GOOD LUCK!!
