Water with lemon juice and/or white vinegar on a 50/50 mix. This will bring the glass up a treat and will also help with plastic/kevlar bodywork too. A method of keeping the pests off the bodywork and numberplates is well tried and tested and works really well too.....smear a thin coat of petroleum jelly onto bumper and plate, when the bugs get on there, they stick into the jelly and you just wipe them away with kitchen towel.

Autoglym Motorcycle Cleaner is very good for both brake dust, and for flies on paintwork. Comes in a white spray bottle with pink writing and its not nearly as scary as the wheel cleaning acids, etc. Used to work a treat on my Suzuki Bandit, when the bugs get squashed into all the little nooks. spray on, gentle scrub if the are really bad, otherwise just hose off. Great sutff. |
I thought i was the only one that uses this on my car, lol

I have a special sponge that has a cotton webbing sawn around it. you can buy them from halfords and to be honest its the best bloody thing ive ever purchased to clean cars does not scratch the paint and it gets all flies off the car no problems.
I have tried tar/bug remover and wonderwheels and i find the sponge better.
