Belt sander.




Seriously though, I've had good luck with the meguir's bug remover. You just spray it on the goo ahead of time, let it soak for about 5 minutes, then wash like normal, and they come right off. Soaking is k3y for anything stubborn.

remove dead bugs from car

I have found that Fantastic or 409 spray cleaner works very well. Of course, you do have to leave it on for a few minutes first, then rinse it off.

I just ended up using soap ,water, and a microfiber towel. I soaked the bugs for about a minute in water using a spray bottle and got all the crap off.

spit on it.....seriously use your own spit and wipe it off with a cloth, then wash clean with water.....cheapest way instead of buying bug removal crap haha

I second this one. Worked better than any spray cleaner I've used.

Park it under your sprinkler for half an hour. For the bike I soak a towel or wet paper towel and leave it sit for a bit instead.
