Honda Spray Cleaner & Polish
This all you need to keep your bike looking showroom perfect.
As a rule, much like not putting your horse in the stable hot & wet, each time after you ride spray your bike where it is dirty, wipe it off and polish. It is also a great way to make sure everything is OK.

Depending on how often you wash you have a couple of options;
1. Weekly wash - at this interval you can use near hot water (you can just put your hand in it) and a spray bottle. Mist the areas where the bug trails are a few times until you can lightly smudge with your finger. Then rinse off, and continue washing your bike. Once you have done this you have now cleaned the chunks off and any light staining should be removed through the shampoo. Once clean, finish off with a good quality synthetic sealant and you are done.
2. Fortnightly - Monthly - Same process as above, but once you have finished cleaning your bike and have applied a synthetic type sealant, you can use a product called VuPlex to add a slippery film on top of your sealant. I have been doing this for years (although I am a weekly washer) and have had very little issue with bug guts.

Nearly any form of pre-soaking the guts has seemed to work just fine. Now the real issue is wiping off that damn small area between windshield and screen once it gets wet. I have to sit there for 10 minutes with something soft and absorbant trying to squeeze it downt there to wipe it off.
