So I am wanting to clean the bugs off the front grill of my F3 and I read somewhere not to use a pressure washer your spyder. What is the best way to get the buggage off the front grill? Thanks[emoji16][emoji16]

take mine to the car wash all the time. oops! it works!
there are comercial bug removal sprays at your local autoparts but soapy water works well and a lot cheaper. Most of the spray cleaners like black diamond, plexus, protect all, pledge do a good job as well...

Here's a little trick I learned from owning airplanes. I had major bug guts on the leading edge of the wings that were a pain to get off. An old timer aircraft mechanic told me to use WD-40. Worked like a charm.
Lamonts black diamond cleaner Was rage @ spyderfest'15. Rest is like any vehicle -soap water rag & ELBOW-grease ,common sence helps too dont put all ur weight on hand with soapy rag& or find a donation event that offers car wash,granted more of a spring time thing, but can be found. Dont try to be nice & let family or neighbors kids wash it for you. Will end up with pools of water in wrong places & no telling what else jacked up.

it's hard to get bugs out of the grill on the F3, I had a grasshopper infestation on the way to the Deadwood rally and tried to get them out of there with just a hose and a toothbrush. Luckily it's only 4 screws holding the grill assembly on. If you need to, get a #30 Torx screwdriver and take that bad boy off and clean them off from the backside.

I sure hope you were behind a windshield on that trip. Otherwise you could have skipped supper.
Luckily I was, but from the knees down, my pants were covered just like that too. The gross part was I didn't even notice any of it until I stopped to take a picture along the needles highway and stepped away from the F3. Then I saw that as I was headed back to it. NASTY!

I live in the area, so any trip out on to the plains, this time of year, tends to gum up the works. I shot water from about every angle and still had to pluck hoppers out of the grill with a small needle nose. I went to the dealer to order the new grill that is in the 2016 parts catalogue because it doesn't have all the cross bars. Figured it may be a lot better for those of us in big bug country. As with a LOT of stuff that BRP offers, it's not available and won't be for at least a couple more months. By December, I don't anticipate grasshoppers being a problem!!
