jackb_ms Posted June 12, 2004 Share Posted June 12, 2004 The problem with cleaning a 21 is the large frontal area, and all the insect who decide to die on this area. What is the best product to clean those dead insects off? Jack Emily, The Very Yellow 21 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

k80rum Posted June 12, 2004 Share Posted June 12, 2004 White spirit seemed to work very nicely on my 'screen. Not much help with the little flying critters who've expired on the bodywork tho. Darren E K80RUM Superlight R #54 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
gmdh555 Posted June 12, 2004 Share Posted June 12, 2004 Not tried it on my 7 yet, but I believe a good technique is to soak a towel in warm water and leave it on the bonnet/nose cone for a while, before washing as normal.

Ian B Posted June 12, 2004 Share Posted June 12, 2004 The Comma aerosol windscreen cleaner is brilliant on the screen and lights - seems to dissolve them is seconds! (it's a silver can and produces a white foam when sprayed on). Not tried it on paintwork but guess it would be OK?

Slomove Posted June 13, 2004 Share Posted June 13, 2004 Don't know the Comma stuff but a general purpose foamy window/mirror spray has become my most powerful friend. I use it to clean (as intended) the windscreen glass and mirrors without streaks, the insects from gelcoat and the last traces of black residue after polishing ali. I go through a bottle a month. But it is dirt cheap. Gert Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
