RE: removing bug guts

I always clean bugs right after the ride, towel and hot water, once clean a little quick detailer spray.

+1 For Hydrogen Peroxide.&nbsp\\; Just returned from a long trip, and guys with were amazed at well it worked.&nbsp\\; They ended up going to drug store and buying bottles of it for $.98 each.&nbsp\\; Best buy out there.&nbsp\\; Once again, when the Texas Redneck speaks, we've got to learn to LISTEN...

ORIGINAL: im

find largest towel....soak it really really good with hose..lay it on area of bike ..go have dinner..watch Tv..come back 1/2 hour or a bit more later...they will fall off...works for your car also...do not try to scratch at them with finger nail....the soaked towel will soften the bugs...if real bad let it sit longer..&nbsp\\;\\\\\\;

&nbsp\\;
+1 on this plan works great, works great he just forgot to say grab a beer then come back and wipe it off.

Doesn't really take that long.&nbsp\\; I stop, spray, gas her up, and then wipe em off.&nbsp\\; They're ready to come off by the time I fill her up.&nbsp\\;
