Bug Removal/Waxing

I am unfamiliar with the outside material of our 2014 Premier Bullet.

What product(s) would you recommend to remove the bug splatters?

What product would you recommend for treating (waxing) the outside of the trailer? I am the kind of guy who does not love this kind of work but do it faithfully to preserve my investment. So I am after an effective solution that is on the easy, less time consuming side if one exists.

Thank you for sharing your experience with me.
  • (PB) B'laster polish and cleaner beats everything else I've ever used. Takes off bugs, black streaks, tar, etc. etc. And is really easy to apply and wipe off and can be used in brite sun. I don't even bother washing the TT first. Works good on rubber gaskets and glass. Beats Nufinish by a mile, leaves siding with a very clean and shiny surface, lasts longer than wax (polish is much better than wax, no build up). Problem is it is very hard to find. The one place I've found it is at Hardware Sales, a gigantic hardware store here in Bellingham WA. (Made by the PB Blaster penetrating oil people). I also use it on my very oxidized 65 Chevy Van, it'll give me a little semi gloss shine for a while. NuFinish didn't do anything.
  • Part of my set up procedure when we arrive at a cg is to wash the front cap. Just use water and a brush. I do wax the front cap before leaving home.

  • As others have said dryer sheets for bugs then wash and rewax.
  • My Bullet Premier has a painted exterior so I use Nufinish. If it was unprinted I would use Aerospace 303. I used that on my previous unpainted fiberglass camper and it looked great.

    I use bounce dryer sheets to remove the bugs.



    Same here another vote for Bounce dryer sheets.jb
  • Preventative procedure when new .
    Turtle Wax " ICE " liquid .
    This is the easiest to use , wipe on , wipe off , stuff around .
    Very easy on labor .
    Makes your surface slippery to bugs .
    I wash my trailer every time after using it and put it into a 3 sided shed .
