Tough Bugs, what do you use??

[Bowhunter61]

Took a trip out to Montana couple weeks ago, needless to say when I got back the front of the 5'er was covered in bugs. Worse than the trip I took to yellowstone 3 years ago.

The front cap had a coat of wax on but these things will not come off even scrubbing with a brush. Used some turtle wax Bug & Tar reomver but that didn't really even put a dent in them.

So the question is what do you all use to clean these things off?
Looking for all good suggestions

Thanks

I wet the are over and over until the bugs soften up and just wipe them off, most other time I will wash the trailer early in the morning and the dew has softened the bug part and they just wipe off

Couple of more things for dryer sheets, if you store your RV outside throw some sheets around inside the RV , keeps away some of the critters, such as mice, they don't like them. If you hate the smell of Deet in bug replents, rub a dryer sheet on your arms, etc, mosquitoes don't like the dryer sheet smell, you'll smell better and not feel quite so greasy. Have a great day.

For the worst of the worst, a soft rag with a few drops of fingernail polish remover does wonders. Of course any wax comes off with it and needs to be re-applied.

Do NOT use Dawn dishwashing soap... It will remove any wax(assuming you wax your front cap) First you want a good coat of wax on the front cap as it will make removing easier. I have had good success with using wash sponges that have a mesh material on the backside. You can pickup at any auto part store. Takes the bugs off with 1-2 swipes.

I use Wash/Wax All and bugs seem to come off easily, BUT I try to clean the nose every couple of days when traveling.

There was a product I used to use on my motorcycles, but I cannot recall the name. It was from the auto parts stores. It's a spray bug remover that is enzyme based. Not expensive but you'd have to look. The key was the enzyme part literally melted the dried bugs. I'd spray it on, wait a few minutes, then wipe off with a damp sponge and hardly any pressure. I looked online and could not find the same brand, but saw several enzyme based bug remover sprays that look similar.

Get and keep the area wet with some soapy water. I use a plastic scrub sponge on my motor home.

Magic erasers, dawn, water & lots of elbow grease.

Damp dryer sheets.
