Bugs on Windshield

[two_travelers]

Was wondering if there was anything that can be put on the winshield to make the bugs come off easier. I'm thinking RainX or some kind of wax etc. Any thoughts??

I use Totally Awesome in a spray bottle to remove the bugs on my windshield.

2X on Rejex especially if you can get a few coats on the front cap, windshield and mirrors over six months period it lasts for a long time. Just use warm water and a sponge. RainX repels water better but Rejex lasts lots longer. I use Rejex on the entire rig and it also contains UV protection.

With at least a couple million miles windshield time, use RainX once a month. It also works great for frost.

Been using Bugslide on the Harley for 10+ yrs. Since I just got my Country Coach I’ll be using it on that also. On a side note, the Harley Bug remover is still the best thing I’ve found for removal on the paint and chrome.

I've found bug removal to be a pain in the a$$ so I installed a small pressure washer behind the generator slide out. Its plumbed with PEX to a cold water line and wired to the inverter. I just open the slide and pull out the hose. Makes short work of the bugs as long as I do it at every fuel stop before they bake on.

Still don't think they're LOVE bugs. Just sayin. When those critters die, they emit a small acid type residue. You don't want that on your PAINT for very long either.......Dennis

When you're done for the day: a soft bristle brush and LOTS of plain water. Just do it as soon as you park.

Take it from this biker... get some Bugslide. The more you use it the better it works.

Magic eraser and latter. Comet Cleanser, rag, and a hose.

For 35 years, I've tried everything to keep the windshield clean. Typically, I would brake out the ladder, a nylon scrubber and window cleaner and scrub the windshield and towel dry. I still do this at home before a trip. However, I was looking for something to clean the windshield while on the road, particularly while getting fuel.

I bought the below scrubber and squeegee combo. I have just been dipping it in the fuel stop water/soap, whatever they have, and scrubbing the windshield. I do half and then squeegee. Amazingly, just their bucket water is doing a better job than the window cleaner I use, no residue. I get a little streaking from the squeegee, but the window really comes out clean.

I stow it and the pole in my generator compartment.

Motorcycle windscreens, made of plastic cant be scrubbed as scrubbing scratches the plastic. to remove the bugs.
Bug Off and RainX are good products that not only make bug gut removal easier, also sheet rain water off like a waxed surface
M/Cs dont have wipers. So applying a release agent is best for them , not feasable for most.
Scrubbing off glass is a little more work and $ 0cost than treating with a release agent to get the bug guts off.
M/C yes. Glass no.

Fabric dryer sheets remove bugs easily with a little water....

ReJex is better than Rain X. It goes on easier and comes off just as easy. I use it on the entire coach with the exception of tires and wheels. Works great in a fiberglass shower enclosure too.

Millions of miles in a truck, I have killed enough bugs to wonder if man could survive without windshields to control the bug population.
IMHO, Rain-X is worthwhile. But most is clean the bugs off at every stop. And clean all glass every day.
