Bug Remover
Greetings,
Need feedback/opinion on the following:
On two motorcycle forums, the [B]50/50 mix of hydrogen peroxide and water[B] consumes the protein in bugs, which removes bugs from motorcycles and windshields...
Another thread suggests spraying [B]lemon pledge[B]on the bike to remove bugs and to keep them off...
In light of the above, do any of you use the mix above and/or lemon pledge to remove bugs on your prized possessions? Would using the above products harm our vehicles?
I'm figuring that our cars are made of a similar material as fairings on H-D touring models?...
What do you think?
Tks,
BB

I find bug removal simple, motorcycle or automobile.
Its either Poorboys BugSquash or P21S Total Wash. Both can be used to spot remove or as a presoak prior to washing. I keep a small travel size spray bottle (and MF towel) in zip-lock baggie when traveling. It never fails to remove bugs and the acids they have prior to etching paint.

Dryer sheets (softener) work great. After an attack of "love" bugs last spring, I cleaned the nose and used some Rejex instead of my standard NXT 2.0. Since then, soak with water and wash the car as normal and the bugs all go away!

Soaking is the key...soak them for a few minutes with anything and they come off easily when washing...or try to get them off quick and you can scrape away with no results. When I go on a long trip and know I will get bugs, I wipe the front end with WD-40 before the trip...it helps with removal.
