Bug removal?

How does one remove the bug guts from leather?

*jukief* · 05-12-2006

I use Honda Polish! That stuff seems to work on absolutely everything.

A damp cloth with warm water. If really bad, use a leather cleaner. Montana Pitch Blend products are my choice. Dry well, and treat with a conditioner. A few treatments make it easier to clean and stay clean. Treat it like your significant other. LOL

Roll around in the gravel.

Lexol Leather Cleaner. It is basically a simple, but weak, detergent with a pH that is friendly to leather. Use the Lexol Leather Conditioner and Preservative at least once a year on leather jackets. It maintains them extremely well.
Ride safely.

I use the preventive approach, a windshield.

Scrape em off and make a stew! Yum!

I got a sample of this from a Seafoam rep one time and can tell you it works great on windshields, grilles,etc! I don't know why you couldn't wash leathers with it.

Lexol Leather cleaner and conditioner.

Gets Alfalfa and Horse Slobber off of Saddles too!
