How do you remove bugs from a Harley-Davidson® without scratching the paint or chrome?
Soften the residue with the right motorcycle cleaner, then wipe it away gently—no aggressive scrubbing needed.
Bug & Tar Remover is a fast-acting formula designed to break down dried insect residue, tar, tree sap and road grime while being gentle on your motorcycle’s finish.
Always follow your owner’s manual and use products recommended by Harley-Davidson®. For this job, choose the Officially Licensed Muc-Off x Harley-Davidson® Motorcycle Care Range, developed specifically for Harley-Davidson® motorcycles.
Why Should You Remove Bug Splatter Quickly?
Bug residue is more than an eyesore. When left to bake onto a warm motorcycle, it becomes harder to remove and may stain paint, chrome and metal surfaces.
Trying to scrub dried bugs away can drag contamination across the finish and cause scratches. Removing them soon after a ride makes the job faster and safer.
Use a Dedicated Bug Remover
Start with a cool motorcycle out of direct sunlight. Wash and dry the affected surface first so loose dirt cannot scratch the finish while you wipe.
Shake the bottle, then spray Bug & Tar Remover on a small, inconspicuous area to test.
Spray it directly onto the bug splatter and allow the formula to work for one to two minutes.
For stubborn, baked-on residue, leave it for up to five minutes—but never longer and never in direct sunlight.
Wipe away the loosened contamination with a clean, dry Muc-Off x Harley-Davidson® Luxury Microfiber Polishing Cloth. Use a fresh section of the cloth as you work to avoid spreading residue across the surface.
Where Can You Use Bug & Tar Remover?
Muc-Off x Harley-Davidson® Bug & Tar Remover is suitable for hard surfaces including:
- Paint
- Metal
- Chrome
- Hard plastics
- Glass
Avoid prolonged contact with rubber, and do not use it on helmets or helmet visors. Always follow the product instructions and test surface compatibility before full application.
Protect the Finish After Cleaning
Once the surface is clean, follow with Speed Wax where suitable, this adds protection and adds epic shine to your paintwork.
Keep finishing products away from brake components, tires, grips and foot controls.
Keep Your Harley-Davidson® Bug-Free
The best way to remove bugs from a Harley-Davidson® is to act quickly and let the product do the work. Avoid harsh chemicals, abrasive pads and heavy scrubbing.
RESPECT THE LEGEND.
