Pledge and clean microfiber towel. If windshield has many baked on bugs I wet a terrycloth towel over the windshield first and let set for awhile, then clean.

If mine is really caked with bugs, I microwave a wet microfiber towel and lay it over the windshield. Otherwise, I use Plexus too.

DON'T ask me how I know!!! DO NOT use RainX on a Lexan windshield. Hot, soapy towel-let sit for a couple minutes to soften "bug juice", rub real easy at first so you don't scratch with hard bug particles. My Clearview shield seems to scratch real easy.To finalize: Novus, Plexus, Honda polish, etc.- lots of stuff out there.

If the windshield is buggy, I put a towel soaked in cold soapy water on it to soften up the crusties. If the shield is buggy, the fairing will be also, so I soak it with a cloth and cold water too. I always use cold water because you never supposed to use hot water on paint. Finish up the shield with Plexus or Novus.

Most HD stores carry Plexus products.

What are these "love bugs" you speak of?
