Looks like we might have to bust out the Hudson sprayer one of these days and test this. Thanks.

I use REJEX. Clean your bike, apply REJEX per the directions on the bottle and nothing will stick to it. Dirt, bugs, etc. wipe off very easily. google it to see where to buy it. REJEX makes chrome and paint shine like you wouldn't believe.

I live on the ocean in a rainy environment. My bike sees plenty of soap and water. If I don't wash the salt off...the metal will be falling off. Not much of a choice there.

"Looks like we might have to bust out the Hudson sprayer one of these days and test this. Thanks." [Harley Goodies]

wonder if it has to be a "Hudson" sprayer

"I use REJEX" [carlgrover]

I will check this out, never heard of REJEX, (know a few however!)..........What color is your bike that you use this REJEX on?

"Otherwise I get the bugs off a 50/50 mix of Hydrogen Peroxide and water, Spray on and wipe off with microfiber cloth. Then I use Invisable Glass to get the road grime off. Last I polish the bike with Lemon pledge. Hope this helps You, it works for Me." [Dionicio]

Did this last night, HP and water works really good. Don't know what invisable glass is, will check that out. Again what color is your bike? (I am looking for the answer "BLACK")

I would recommend a quality auto cleansing or bug removal product. I have used 'Pinnacle' products for years and find it amazing, although it's pricey.

And as a note. 'Simple Green' will remove wax, so be very careful where it sprays.

Did'nt spell it right "Invisible Glass". It is sold in auto parts stores. Works good on removing road grime. Good Luck!

My Bike is Dark Pearl Blue. There won't be any difference using it on Your Black Bike, My buddy uses it on his black bike with excellant results.

Lay towel on bug areas, soak with hose, wait 30 mins. Wipe off dirt with Windex and your fingers, dry, finish with carnuba out of your palm. No towels needed and it is fun...

I have used simple green for years with no effects on the wax.
