Coping with Road Bugs

Going to be doing some long distance traveling this year and would like to know what, if anything, you folks do to protect the fronts of the TV and the trailer from bugs. Can't say I'v had damage from them, but they sure do get to be a pain removing. I have discovered old dryer sheets for removing but is there anything better then just wax on the fronts? I've heard of Rejex and Star Brite Premium Polish but have zero experience with either. Does any of this stuff work?

    Way back in ancient history (1940s and 1950s) there was wind deflector that clipped onto the hood ornament (remember those?) that would prevent the bugs from hitting the windshield; no need to remove bugs because there weren't any.

    I bought the Rejex and was disapointed. I tried Mcguires cleaner/wax and found it to work much better. The rejex went on like the wax but did not clean the surface, so previous bug stains remained. The Mcguires cleaned all the old stains off and has remained shiny and slick longer than the rejex. Also, was much cheaper than the rejex at $5.00 for a bottle of Mcguires at Walmart.

    They usually dry out and fall off by Winter. I don't get too worked up about them. About the time you get them all cleaned off another moves in to take their place.
