Bug preventer

[Deraldjr]

Getting ready to travel west for vacation in April. I am looking if there is any spray agent to coat front of RV to make it easier to remove bugs when they get stuck to fiberglass.

I don't think anything stops bugs from sticking. Might be the angle of my front cap but speed seems to figure into the sticky equation. The faster they slam into the front cap the more likely they are to stick. Also a good wax helps. Many hundreds of miles & a month or so of using Meguires Flagship wax bugs mostly wash off with hose & brush.

I've used Pam cooking spray but it gets snotty when it is rained on. Also many years ago used Future floor wax. Didn't hurt anything.
Lots of wax.

I applied TopCoat F11 this winter. We will see how it works this next summer on the trailer. I like it on my car, bugs and dirt still get on the car but it is easier to clean off. You need to apply multiple coats and it is expensive.

hot water works sometimes to remove buhs. I've never seen so many bugs as I did in Kansas and other points in the midwest.

I've been using Rejex on the front and it makes the bugs slide right off.

I don't think so, Rain-X specifically warns to keep it off of painted surfaces. Great product though!

I use a heavy coat of wax on the front cap before each trip... and I found that if you hose off the bugs at each stop for the night, that helps emensly....

Yes, this, even a coat of easy to apply Protect All, between waxing, makes a big difference. The big thing though, the heavy dew or overnight rain will make this job easy. Just don't wait until it drys, get out there early.
