Generally I use a microfibre cloth which I damp to try and soften up the corpses.
Good idea :thumbup

:agree
This is the best way I've found to get them off.

I use the kitchen roll method, but once it's soaked into the critters I remove it and then just use it to dab the worst off as I read somewhere that kitchen roll is a bit harsh and can scratch visors. Motul helmet and visor cleaner with a microfiber cloth to finish off.

Went out last night country roads 7pm - 8.30 prime fly time but hardly any, I must be aerodynamic.
