    Default Bug Removal

    Looking for a good bug removal product. Don’t always have time to clean bike as often as I should. After about a week the dried on bugs are hard to remove. Any suggestions?

    Thank you.

    On windshields, I have used a 50/50 mix of water and hydrogen peroxide .... spray it one ... wait a few seconds wipe them off ... you might do a test on some obscure paint.

    I use Rain X for plastic. Once you get a good coat on the windshield the bug don't stick as bad. Normaliy just wipe out with a damp rag even after a few day.

    I use pledge for everything

    On the windshield, bugs come off easily.

    On paint, I use it as a detailer.

    I've heard this works well but never tried it because I didn't know the recipe. I almost made a 50/50 mix once by just guessing what it might be but I chickened out. I'm curious now, how long can you store that mixture and it still work? Just wondering if you need to make small batches or if you can make two full bottles by splitting one bottle of the full strength stuff and then store the other bottle.

    Lots of good ideas here.

    Usually, I have a product in one hand and a pretty clean MicroFiber in other and a second, new, clean MicroFiber tucked in a pocket. I start at one end, work down a side and back along other side back to start point.

    I usually just spray the more frontal, more bug killing parts of the trike, with what ever detailer or spray cleaner or spray wax I'm using and let that soak a few minutes, then just wipe / and buff. It's the rare bug who's guts that can resist this.

    Take a bath towel soaked in hot water. Lay it over the bug area for about 5 minutes and they wipe right off.

    Thanks for the responses. I’ll try the hot water and towel method first.

    I carry a little travel bottle with me. Unless you're riding in South Dakota - then you'll need a 5 gallon bucket of it...at least during Sturgis

    I have a small opaque spray bottle ... lasts about a whole season ... after I get the bugs off, I usually hit the windshield with lemon pledge.

    Bought some of that F11 Top Coat at Sturgis this year and that stuff is something else. I coated the whole bike when I got home including the windshield. Bugs, just a spritz of the F11 and the bugs wipe off with a gentle wipe with a miracle fabric rag.

    If that works with those big juicy mayflies, I'm sold.

    Default Nothing better nothing

    Put hydrogen peroxide in a spray bottle spray any part of your bike with bugs. Windshield ,paint, fender bras bugs bubble up and are easily wiped away. I have used this for years and I am extremely protective of my paint and finish .

    it works and a large bottle is under a dollar.

    I've found a product called Bug Slide. Just spray it on, let sit for a minute and wipe off using a microfiber cloth. I've seen it a several dealerships here in Minnesota. Or you can purchase it from Law Abiding Biker (LAB). LAB is run by law enforcement officers in Washington.

    My guess is some of these expensive bug removal sprays are 90% hydrogen peroxide with a little of there own stuff to call it there’s and put that big $$ on it.

    Wish my fellow cyclist would try this stuff sure made life easier.
