Try Honda Spray Cleaner and Polish. Bout $6 a can at your nearest Honda Car or Motorcycle dealer. Melts bugs off and provides a protective wax and UV coating. I've used this stuff for 20 years..It's awsome! (smells good too)

On the really cheap side, Bounce clothes dryer sheets are supposed to work very well. Just wet and wipe.

Just Rejex it and the bugs will come off very easy with detail spray and microfiber towel.

- Rejex and I just use water from my dehumidifier in a spray bottle - bugs come right off.

I use Zaino on the car and I apply Rejex on the leading edges. Spray bottle with H2O, a microfiber cloth, and the bugs are history.....

It really does work. And it doesn't even have to be "Bounce" trust me.

Bounce is truly amazing! Used it to remove all the bugs and tar that I picked up on the drive home to CA from the NCM. Would never have believed it before I tried it. Just dampen the sheet and the road grime will magically dissapear.

Does Bounce leave a residue you then need to wash off?

I read in another thread recently about some other product you spray on bafore long drives and it actually forms a hard coating you can just peel off with the bugs...Can't find the darn link though!
Anyone know what I'm talking about?
