Best products for tar and bug removal

Any suggestions for good products for tar and bug removal?

Turtle Wax- Bug and Tar remover- green bottle- been using it for years. Once you use it they clean off real easy the next time.

The mixture of vinegar and rubbing alcohol with a drop of dish soap is what a good buddy of mine told me about that has used it for 20+ years. Works great and is cheap!

WD40 it cleans off everything, just remember to re wax the area you clean. people i know that by old bikes use it to clean up the bike and i can't believe how well it cleans it up

i use a product called BugSlide. It is safe for paint and windshield. Works great in Texas, and soon i will be able to test it in FL against the lovebugs..

Karnak Karna Klean, it has natural orange oil in it, you can get it at any roofing supply company
that stocks Karnak products. We sell it at my work it a little on the high side $21.00 but it is
worth it, and it is safe, you can use it to clean just about any thing, if fact I worked into my house
and I had grease on the bottom of my shoes, yep right on the the carpet. I used the karnak klean
and it cleaned the grease up and did not hurt the carpet. It comes in a 1 liter bottle, it works great
on the body work of all my vehicles.

Thanks for the suggestions. I have never had a bike that would get as dirty and covered in bugs and tar as my ST. Mark's blue RTS always looks great. My white ST L always looks like it needs a bath.

white will show everything that hits it...lets face it, not many light colored bugs... I have use WD-40 since it came out and works great. Now the new specificly designed products should be good but I have too many cleaning products as it is.

a friend of mine also uses WD40 on his knees and shoulder for pain and stiffness

That makes perfect sense...
If it doesn't move, and should: try WD-40 first!

Mr.Clean magic erasers work excellent.
