What is the best product...
The best "product" I've found is to simply soak a bath towel in water then drape it over the windshield, let stand for several minutes to loosen the bugs then rinse clean.

Polish afterwards with Plexus or similar product.

I don't know the cost, but the H-D bug remover works very quick and easy.
