bugs

If possible wash front of mh off in early morning when dew has them softened up. use a long handled brush and plenty of suds using anti spotting car wash. Might have to let suds set a minute or redo.
Don't wash it in the hot sun and use a filter on the water hose, at many places. It's not like you're washing the whole coach. Ask first if you think there is a problem.
Any dust or dirt and pollen can scratch the paint and glass.
I waxed the glass with Mequires, Spray Synthetic wax when, I had the time and polished it off good. It helped a lot.
Micro fiber towels or cloths really help clean the glass, on the end of a squeegie or one of those floor cleaner heads, Brain dead right now, with Armor All Glass Cleaner, no ammonia, when it is inconvenient to wash off the windshield but not a dusty cap.

You haven't seen bugs until you've traveled the Alaskan Highway! We used what the truckers use. Buy a gallon of windshield washer fluid. Add some to a bucket and fill with water. It works great. We sometimes had to wash the windows 2x/day on the way to Alaska.

We use a Windex product that is a pad attached to an extension pole.

Hose it off, clean with the pad and hose if off again. It works surprisingly well....perhaps not perfect but certainly good enough on the overnight stops when I don't want to pull out the ladder.

X2 on the Rain-X. We also use a well soaked windshield squeegee/cloth cleaner on the stubborn ones. Trick is to dampen and let sit for a bit before removing.

come thru Texas during lovebug season & let me know how that works for you (hint, it won't).

i still use the dryer sheets to get the bugs off the paint (won't scratch paint).... !

Just a note: If you don't wet the dryer sheet it DOES scratch the paint. Don't ask me how I know.

WET the dryer sheet. I obviously didn't read the whole post one day about using them on painted surfaces. Etched the whole front of my toad. :(

and you shouldn't use it on a MATT or FLAT "paint" finish either.
I use OLD (used) drier sheets when I'm washing the vehicle....dip 'em in the bucket.

but they still don't clean a windshield as good as 0000 steel wool

x2!

X3! I was amazed when I tried this.

X4. Read this for years and never believed it until I tried it.

X5. Cleans the FW front cap easily and does not affect the gloss. Then I follow up with Meguiar's detail spray.
