    Default Super bug removal . . . .

    Two for ease of bug removal to Mr. Clean Majic Erasers! Just cleaned up the after a road trip and was amazed at how easily the Majic Erasers took off the bugs without damaging the finish. I could not bring myself to using it on the windshield -- I only use Plexus there.

    Bug-B-Gone works well

    just a note...if you have a wrap on your Spyder you already know this....bugs don't stick to the wrap..usually...just around the edges.....

    For me the best choice is still the wet dryer sheet... I always have some extras on the Spyder and she stays pretty bug free..

    Whoa, please be careful! Magic Eraser is actually melamine foam which is a micro abrasive. Abrasive cleaners should not be used on the Spyder painted or plastic areas. Eventually they can and will damage the finish. For difficult to clean stains such as bugs you're better off using a gentle automotive detergent, Plexus, Pledge, or even Windex (non-ammonia). Let it soak for a while and the bugs will come off. Then use a good polish such as NuFinish Paste and the bugs won't stick as well next time. Never, never, never use anything abrasive! Think of Magic Eraser as a superfine sandpaper. It has many uses but not on your Spyder's paint.

    A light spray of Hydrogen peroxide + no lint cloth works great too!

    Give good old WD40 a try. Works for me , also can remove road tar and nothing in it is harmful.

    Another vote for the dryer fabric softener sheets. Cheap, effective, and smells nice! Makes Clyde all April fresh
