I'm new to boating, every morning there are bugs all over the boat and front top of the boat.
Ant suggestions on cleaning up. I would think using cleaners lie 409 are bad for the lake

Thank you

Biodegradable boat soap and water. Some cleaners (not sure about Simple Green) also remove the wax, so you have to rewax after using them. Big PITA. the only real solution I found it to hose them off early while their little carcasses are still moist from the dew or have the boat painted. They will hose right off after that.

Drive fast, with your mouth shut, they will fall off if you go fast enough. :D

elbow greese, soap, and water. Hire a few neighborhood kids to wash her for you, call it a stimulus package:)

Hydrogen peroxide softens then up instantly and they wipe off with a wet cloth.
