fyi,a wet bounce dryer sheet will wipe dead bugs right off.i just did my camper with last years bugs still on and it took all of 15 minutes.it leaves a film so you need to wash it after,but you can't touch the cost compared to the bottled cleaners.

It just seems to me that we are still doing the same things as in years past. You would think someone would have come up with a better solution these days. :roflsquared:

Guess I'll have to keep waxing.:emotions122:

i gave you a better solution.it's the next best thing to having them magically disappear without doing anything yourself.and it costs pennies.doesn't matter how much wax/sealer is applied,they still won't just slide off by magic.i've tried every type in the book,and this works best.

Dryer sheets feel abrasive though to the touch. It doesn't leave scratches or swirls?

no,just a milky film that washes right off.it actually feels like applying suntan lotion.you have to wet them before you start wiping.i guarantee that anyone who tries it will continue to do it.

I use Rejex on both the front of my truck as well as the front of my trailer. Best product i've used yet, majority of bugs come off with the pressure washer when I get home, even after sitting on the front of the trailer for a couple of weeks in the sun while camping.

Some stubborn bugs need a little elbow grease.

Full time RVers swear by this stuff for protecting their RVs from the effects of Love Bugs which are apparently very hard on paint if not cleaned off right away, usually down in the Florida area?
