Bugs on windshield

I'm wondering if there is any thing that you can put on the windshield to make bugs come off easier perhaps a glass wax of some sort?

Invisible Glass with rain repellant helps.

Go to your closest Harley Davidson dealer and buy S-100. Spray it sparingly, It spreads like blood. Let sit 2 min and easily scrub off. Rinse well. You will love it

Absolutely. I use the same wax on the windshield as every other surface on the coach except awnings & tires. Everyone has their favorite wax I use Meguires ultimate quick wax. The good/bad it's very easy to apply but doesn't last as long as the hard shell products.

I bought a spray bottle of bug remover from CW it works good. Sorry can't remember the name it's a green liquid and it was inexpensive.

I do the whole coach in ReJex which includes all the glass. I can clean the bugs off the windshield with plain water and a micro fiber cloth

We bought an expensive con job for glass protection.Diamond Shield or something It did help shed bugs though.
I've tried a number of things but thorought cleaning in early morning when dew has softened them up, wash with spot free car wash and dry quickly with micro fiber.
I use Mequires synthetic spray wax(Ultimate Quick Wax) and wipe off thoroughly, with microfiber towel.
I do the windows ad windshield in the Mercedes too. No hard water spots at all but better glazed glass and it is kept inside. The bugs do come off a lot easier. It does wear off though so each time it is washed it is redone.

The longer they are on windshield the harder you have to work to get them off.If you wipe the windshield every night, you wont struggle to keep window clean.Let the window soak as long as you can and most bugs should come right off.Always use micro fiber on any painted surfaces.

Rain-X is probably a good idea as I've not tried that yet.

What I have tried, is Spray Way..... wow, that stuff cleans off the bugs so easily. Actually, once we stop for the night, I spray the whole front of the coach and take off all the bugs.

I have not had good luck with Windex... just smears. Spray Way works wonders for us. You can buy it just about anywhere... Walmart, Costco, grocery store, etc.

Safe travels,

Rain-X does help. I use a wet dryer sheet to clean them off.

To clean them off.

1. spray with windex
2. wait ten minutes
3. clean off bugs using a hose.
