Removing bugs from fairings and windshield??

[San Diego Busa]

Hey Guys

Stupid question i know.

Just did a 400 mile ride through the mountains. Bike looks as if it is some art hippies abstract art piece with all of the splatter and various colors covering the front of it.

I have searched and found a lot of info on proper cleaning, but not much detail about bug removal. Entire windshield and front cowl are COVERED!

All my previous bikes were used and beat up, so i just scrubbed them clean and used Goo Gone (that stuff is magic)

Id like to keep the Busa pretty for at least a little bit.

Any advice on how to remove all these bugs without damaging the plastics?

Thanks

and let it sit a little bit.

I find if the bike is freshley waxed, its easier for the bugs to come off.

pledge or nufinish spray on wax will help prevent and make them easier to remove. get as most with pressure washer at a distant then soap and brush gently to remove

check out your local auto parts store for many products, like these for example;

Wet terrycloth towel to wipe em off. If you keep a nice coat of Meguiars NXT on the Busa bugs wipe off easily.

If it's and extreme amount of bugs i would use car soap and water/ a regular wash down then dry it off and pledge away

Pledge!

I've found wd-40 on a rag works pretty well for bugs, just clean it all off and give it a good wax after.

Is that a household cleaner? Ill need to ask the wife wear she keeps all that stuff!

The pledge works for removing the bugs as well and protecting from new??

Yeah, i have plenty of those items here. I didnt know/think they were safe for using on a windscreen or plastic fairings.

A warm/hot towel, nice and wet. Set it on the bike, come back in about 10 minutes. GONE.. Here in WI we have more bugs in summer than we do snow in winter. Works like a champ, and best of all its FREE!!

Honda clean/polish, great stuff.

Pledge works well

I am pretty anal when it comes to paint Care so it may seem a little Extreme.
If I am going to ride at night and know I am going to get plastered with bugs
I Will spray a light coat of ICE detailer on the front, windshield, and fender
and lightly wipe it off with a micro fiber cloth.
Here is a tip, I carry 2 ziplock sandwich bags under my rear seat.
In the one bag a microfiber cloth sprayed down heavily with detailer spray,
then I Will fold the cloth up in a 2in x 2in sqaure and place it in the bag fold the
Zip lock back also into a sqaure and zip it 90% closed then compress all the air out
and finishing zipping the other 10% creating like a vacuum seal.
in the 2nd zip lock I Will have a clean micro fiber rag folded up the same way.
this way on Pit stops you can wipe Em off before they are baked on also is great
on faceshields of helmets.

In a pinch a Bounce dryer sheet. Just wet it and wipe.

I used the Honda brand for years and then the Honda/Suzuki dealer told me that Original Bikes Spirts was the actual manufactuer. So I switched, same great product but lower priced. It is amazing on bugs and even road tar.

Somebody on this site posted this so I'm not taking the credit, and it worked well for me.
