Bug Removal
- Thread starter ewiltgen
- Start date
The most impotant thing is not to leave the bugs stay on your car or bike for several days. You really should remove the bug residue every day as the chemicals in the bug residue can etch your paint or the damage finish on your windshield.
I have found that this works best for me and you minimize the chance of scratching the windshield or the damaging paint. No need to use any chemicals.
1. Take a terry or microfiber towel and wet it in warm water.
2. Wring it out, but not so much that is is just damp. You want it to be wet, but do not need it to be dripping.
3. Lay it over the windshield and front of the fairing, if you have one, and leave it there for about 15 minutes. Remove the towel and just wipe the bugs off with the wet towel. All or most of the bugs should come right off.
4. If there a few stubborn bugs left, just repeat the process.
Takes a little time, but it works.

The wet towel works well and I have found that Pledge furniture polish ( I like the orange scented) will work well if applied before the bugs are a problem. It's all I ever used on mine and the bugs come off easier. Use it on the whole bike less the tires and leather.
Now stop laughing and try it.

Windex makes a new window / interior cleaner. It takes the bugs off of my windshield without any harm. You can also buy vinyl window cleaner. Made by Custom Window cleaner in Florida. Great stuff.
