Clean bugs with dryer sheet on a painted RV?
Is it safe to use the dryer sheet system on a painted and clearcoated RV? Any possible damage/scratching from them? Or is best to leave the dryer sheet system to unpainted RV's?

Personally, I don't know why anyone would use a dryer sheet to clean any part of the RV. I tried it a couple of times to see what all the whoopla was about. All it did was leave a gooey mess you still had to clean off.
If you want to control bugs, you need to put something on before the bugs hit it, like wax, 303, Pledge or anything that will protect the surface. If you do get bugs, use soap and water and wash them off. On a gelcoat RV, use an RV brush. If it's clear coated paint, use lambs wool or other soft product to wash and rinse.
Hmmmmmm - I get small yellow specks on both of my vehicles when they are left outside.
Would guess it's from bird "fly-overs", LOL!
When I wash the vehicles, the specks don't come off.
They don't come off during automated car wash either.
Solution:
I save *used* dryer sheets, and wet them to remove the specks during the washing process.
Works great, never scratched the finish.
BTW - I use them for the front cap of my 5th wheel also.
OP - as noted - try a test, draw your own conclusions.
