    I use the original bike spirit spray cleaner and polish it used to be called Honda spray wax..

    I know everybody has their own formulas some even have homemade concoctions, but I’ve been using it for probably 20 years now..

    Big fan of Bugslide… that applied with a microfiber cloth to remove bugs, then finish with cleaning with Wizards Mist n Shine…

    I always used Bugslide as well and thought it was great stuff. But then I discovered Diamond Finish and I feel it works equally well and maybe even better. It less expensive than Bugslide. I see the OP is from Shawano. I get Diamond Finish at Doc's Harley in Bonduel.

    As stated, warm water on a cotton towel, let it soak on the bugs for a while, then wash with your favorite car wash solution.

    Prevention is the cure to getting them off easily. Once you have the fairing clean, two or three coats of your favorite polish/wax/ceramic coating will make it easy to get the bugs off.

    The sooner you can get them off the better (like after your ride), if you let them harden a few days it becomes difficult and may etch the paint surface.

    Hunters Bug Kutter seems to work well. It's a spray on foam so it clings to saturate. Can be a little expensive and hard to find.

    Wolfgang Uber auto wash- put it in a spray bottle. Tough bugs get the garment steamer treatment.

    I buy this by the big bottles. I use it for more than just the Trike.

    Bugslide and microfiber towel . Best to do it as soon as you’re done riding before they harden up! Been using it for years . A gallon lasts about a year
