I can't wait to try the peroxide!

I've used WD-40, H-D's bug remover, the wet towel. Nothing has worked to get them all off except for the ol fingernail. There was always some outline left.

Trick is to get it wet...let it soak...then wipe off. I use Honda Spray Polish & let it soften up the bugs then wipe them off.
