vlad, get some fully slick, bowdens. spray all over, bugs will then just wipe off with a micro fibre towell. as far as motor bits, no clue, sorry.

Michael,
Pledge is a serious suggestion, I used to use Plexus which is great for cleaning all sorts of plastics but it's about Aus $30 for a small can.
Some googling found quite a few sites talking about using Pledge instead of Plexus, Plexus was originally used to clean aircraft canopies and there are
a few returns of people using Pledge to clean canopies instead.

I've tried it for about a year or so and it appears to perform as good as Plexus but it's $3 or $4 for a large can, works really well for removing bugs, road grime, chain lube etc.

Cheers,
Rick

spray on before or after it gets dirty?

Before it gets dirty, it's a polish of sorts. 


Spray it onto furniture (wood NOT fabric) n wipe it over. Leaves a nice shine & a protectant coat on the surface.
