I like using a citric based cleaner called Goo Gone. Get it at most large supermarkets or Wal-Mart. Works great for tar as well.

RE: removing bug guts

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\\;

Black Magic detailer and cleaner I just spray it on and let it set for about one min. and wipe them off ...It smells a lot like ammonia...

Hydrogen peroxide - bugs are essentially protein, which it'll dissolve.

I use the Wet towel method, but I soak the towel in the Hotub first. Gets it nice and hot!!!! Shhhh dont tell my wife.... But no double dipping.

+20 on the wet/hot towel.&nbsp\\;
&nbsp\\;
And not to hijack the thread, but how about getting the bugs/bug guts from being plastered in the area around the headlamp?&nbsp\\; It's a b!tch to get in there.
