Laundry sheets and bugs on the front cap.

Wet ones. And I too vote against the spray and wipe cleaners. Just use regular car wash soap.

If it gets to the point where it won't take a shine, check this out:

Many thanks to 4X4van. I used his technique a few weeks ago, I'll report on how it holds up.

Love this forum!

Are you all using DRY dryer sheets or WET ones?

I spray the front of my class C with water (or do this cleanup on a damp foggy morning), then did a long-handled mop into bug-removing windshield washer fluid, give the bugs a quick rub with that, and quickly wash it off with water. So far no problems and no climbing up to reach it with the dryer sheets.

I just spray the front with pam and then hose it off when I get where I'm going.

I would recommend against Simple Green, it will strip any wax/sealant you apply plus it is very corrosive.

It's the only way I've gotten through the biannual lovebug seasons all these years in Florida.

The simple green will go through your wax in no time but the used dryer sheets remains one of the best tips I ever got here. After 4,100 miles the front of our Class C, perhaps the ultimate bug catcher, was bad but three dryer sheets later looking good. :C

I use Bar Keepers Friend to remove bugs.. Workz great...T-10

I spray a little Simple Green on the area and then wipe down with the dryer sheet. Has just a bit more kick that way. Works real well if good coat of wax is kept on nose. When the bugs start getting real tough even with the dryer sheet, I know I have to wax. Randu
