After a long road trip, the Ridge is plastered with bugs. Any cool tricks/tips to get the truck shaved of it's bug-beard, or is it just an elbow-grease issue?
Thanks for the tip and photo!dacvulcan said:I have been using Plexus plastic cleaner for years to remove bugs off of motorcycle windshields. Spray it on, let it soak in for 20 or 30 seconds, and wipe off with a soft cloth. It is available at any motorcycle shop.

Plexus works good. Also Honda Polish and Cleaner works well too. You can also find this at any motorcycle shop probably near or right next to the Plexus.....dacvulcan said:I have been using Plexus plastic cleaner for years to remove bugs off of motorcycle windshields.

What could be easier than this? 35 years owning cars...how could I never have seen or thought of it!?!Ultra-HOG said:A few very wet towels will do the trick. Dip 'em in a bucket, lay 'em on, spray 'em down to keep 'em good'n wet. Leave them on for 5 to 10 minutes, they will wipe right off...
Ultra-HOG said:409 may make it easier to get the bugs off this time but it will also strip any wax right off with them. That will make it even harder next time. Without any wax they will really stick. If you get them wet and keep them wet for 5 or 10 minutes the will wipe right off. Having a good coat of wax under them will make it real easy.
Thanks for the tip Ultra-Hog. I'll try the wet towels.NotaChevy said:I agree, and I found out that the solvents in the automatic car wash presoak also remove the wax. From that point on, if I go to the car wash, I only use the self serve and then only the high pressure spray. NO PRE-SOAK! The wax seems to hold up OK. Now if I could convince my wife.....but that's another story.
