So is it the dog in your Avatar? or something else?Quote:

From the land of love bugs...... lay a wet hand towel on the dried bug guts for about 15 minutes and they will come right off. The dried ones are the only ones that are a problem. If you keep them wet for 10 or 15 minutes they wipe right off.
just plain hot water, the emphasis is on HOT. Melt your troubles away.
As mentioned, hydrogen peroxide is very good, quick, and efficient.
Another trick, a dryer sheet in a spray bottle of water. Don't know why, but it also works well. I have given the spyders a "quick clean" with this method.
and your bike will smell better too.Quote:

It’s a pain but if you clean every time you ride it’s so much easier
Dryer sheet and water, then rinse. Works easier if dryer sheet has soaked in water over night.
All great suggestions, but the most important part of the process is to use a clean cloth. Can't emphasize that enough. Even a slightly used cloth/rag can have a grain of dirt in it:lecturef_smilie: .....which will cause your first scratch with any amount of pressure. The other enemy is ammonia, unless you like rainbows;)
