I've been using Bugs-B_Gone on my truck and it works great for removing them. Spray it on the dry surface, leave it set for a min, and rinse with water. The stuff is water activated somehow.
Looks like I'm going the Pledge route for the bike though. I like the thought of the wipes and a quick cleanup.

+1 for the Pledge. Started using it a couple years ago after hearing about it from others on the forum. Now I also use it on the truck.

Never Dull will clean their remains from your chrome.......
Then wipe with Pledge for that fresh lemony scent

This works great, the 50/50 solution....as for Pledge that will work...I really like the Honda spray wax, not expensive and works well.

I found Mother Syn-tec wax is very good too, but the Honda spray travels with me....

I like Bugslide. A little pricy but i cleaned my entire bike 6 times with the travel bottle before i got the 16oz size at $20. Local shop carries it now. I like the fact that you don't have to keep wiping to clear up the residue.

I have used wax, polish and everything in between. The best thing to do is carry a bottle of bug remover in your bag.

the good news is the old formula is still available, only under another name. 'the original spray cleaner and polish' by amrep. thats what you're looking for.
