I was taught to clean bugs this way 55 years ago when I first started riding. While other methods / products have come and gone hot water and a towel are still my default method. And for someone 70 years old and on a fixed income I find the price quite appealing.

+1 with the wet towel trick, I also have Cee Baileys rain repellent on the windscreen and the bugs don't seem to stick as bad.

hot water

I saw on the forum about using a towel soaked in hot water and it works great on my wind shield and lower fairings. saves from a lot of washing. I wipe it back down with a shammy.

Peroxide never worked for me.. Especially if the bugs have been thru a few hest cycles lol.. The turtle wax spray worked pretty good.. Now I use the empty turtle wax bottles to spray on a mix of half soap(not dish soap) half water.. I make it pretty thick to stay where I spray and not run off.. I'll usually spray it on while I'm getting whatever supplies needed to wash the bike..

Lemon Pledge...obviously you will need to apply PRIOR to getting bugs on the windshield, headlights etc, then just hit it with some warm water and off the bugs come.

I've tried them all, and this is the easiest, cheapest, and fastest way to remove bugs after a ride. I follow it up with either Purple Slice or Honda cleaner to make things shine.

Anyone who hasn't tried 50/50 H2O and H2O2 is just letting the best in life pass them by ....
