Tar and Bug Removal ?
Just did a quick trip out to Palm Springs CA to pick up a bike. 1600 miles in four days and three states. Hit bugs so big I think they were actually the state birds of New Mexico, Arizona and California. My bike looks like *****! What is the best tar and bug remover available today for my Harley's paint?
thanks!
thanks!

If needed, I use what I use on the cars. Latest product is the bug and tar remover from Turtle Wax. There's lots of other similar products that work just as well. But as previously mentioned, most of the time soap and water do just fine. Oh, and so does an enclosed trailer...(sorry, couldn't be helped.

I know some guys that swear by Pledge Lemon Clean. They say it cleans good and they say it's Anti-Dust formula keeps bugs (and rain) from sticking to it as bad. I don't have a shield myself (yet) but gonna try it when I get one.
