Just to clarify what Twin Hauler says....I used Hydrogen Peroxide (H2O2) for years on my Goldwings. I also used it as a swimming pool oxidizer. The big difference is the store bought peroxide is something like a 5% solution. The pure stuff (also used as an oxidizer for some rocket engines) is something like 50-70% is highly corrosive to bio matter (which is why it work on bugs and in swimming pools in place of Chlorine). Do not try to use the commercial/pool grade stuff as a) a drop on your arm, hand, face etc will result in immediate chemical burns. The fumes are highly noxious also. If dropped on concrete it will react with the calcium/lime in the concrete and sizzle and pop like crazy.
I used the OTC solution and did not even dilute it as at the 5% range it is safe and effective. Along those lines, though, I also found that a wet towel left to soak on the bugs for a few minutes will allow them to be wiped off in most cases.
