Removing bugs from front cap

[N-Trouble]

So far the best method I have found is to wet the front cap for ~10min to soften them up, then take a wash mitt with a fabric mesh backing, add some soap and they come off fairly easy. Have tried all kinds of recommended cleaners but keep going back to the mesh wash mitt and soap as I find it the easiest. Anyone else use this method and skip all the fancy/$$ cleaners?

Of course keeping a coat of wax on the front cap helps with bug removal. Many of the cleaners I have seen recommended strip any wax off which is another reason I don't like to use them.

After you have it cleaned off put on Rejex, then you can wash them off with a hose!

My 5'ers cap has a few 1000 bugs on it. Driving several hours thru farm lands tends to do that. I assume its gonna take time to get it all clean no matter what I use.

Works great. I save some used ones when DW does laundry.

There was a product called "Love Bugs" that was a softer scratcher pad. I bought a couple and with a spray bottle of water and a few minutes the bugs were easily removed.

Spray them with hydrogen peroxide, wait 10 minutes and the wipe right off. Works even better the fresher they are.

The stuff is cheap and doesn't remove wax. I've been using this on my camper, motorcycle fairing and windshield for years.
