Default Bug Stain Removal

Just returned from a 4300mi. trip from Illinois to Vegas and back! Any suggestions on how to remove bug stains from my bike. Please advise.

Lay a soaking wet (just water) towel on it for tweenty minutes, then wash with soap and water. Should come right off. If you have a windshield, do the same thing, just use the wet towel with no soap to clean it.

I use bug and tar remover. I spray it on the bike anywhere i see gunk and let it sit while i fill the bucket with soap and water and get the towels and wash mit ready. It comes right off with little effort and no residue after you rinse it off.
