Shine Supply - Wet detailer, Stack it with Clutch…basically a very temporary sealant/ceramic coat. Clutch also protects the plastic and keeps it deep black and shining. Bug Off is their Bug Remover. Apply in the shade, let it dwell 30 seconds or so, pressure wash off. Use intermittently if needed while hand washing. Keeping bugs off starts with getting a nice layer of silica on the paint or ceramic coat.

Chisel honed on my 8000 grit block. They come right off. Once in a while you have to still use a small mallet but be careful, the windshield is glass!

Sprayway glass cleaner; it works wonders for bug removal on the go. A trucker once recommended it to us on a long road trip, after watching us unsuccessfully trying to clean our windshield with a squeegee and windex. Sprayed a thin layer, the one easy wipe and boom, clean. Have kept a can or two handy ever since.

Especially comes in handy now that we’ve recently moved and live in bugageddon territory…

Give Wet Detailer topped with Punch It a try, much easier than stacking with Clutch.

In the past I used the soft side of Scrubs or Tub O Towels on an already wet surface and it worked amazingly well. Never saw any damage to paint or surface in the last 22 years of doing it on several different makes of vehicles. Now since using Turtle Wax Hybrid Ceramic Spray and Meguires Ultimate Wash & Wax it hasn't been necessary to use the scrubs to get the bugs off.

I have one of those brush attachments for my drill. got a kit with like 20 different brush options from amazon for around $19. I just dunk the brush in soapy water every so often. Takes no elbow grease at all, just keep running the brush over the spot until its clean. Some of the waxes and treatments other people have mentioned will help bugs not stick so well, but I'm patient enough to take another few seconds for each spot.

I have posted this before, (Bugs Begone). I swear by this product. I purchased a gallon of the concentrate off the internet and mix what I need. A hell of a lot cheaper than paying 8 bucks for a spray bottle. First wet the area hood lights windshield etc. then spray on and wait about 3 minutes. You must wet the area first because it is water activated. You can actually watch the bugs disintegration before your eyes. For tough patches repeat. I will not use anything but this product. You will be happy with this product.

Sure they are a bit harder to remove than dirt/mud but not by much? I usually soap the front and let it sit while I do the rest. Once I get back to the bugs they usually wipe away or with a bit of scrubbing.

I use warm water with a little Dawn in it (if it is good enough for duckies...) and wipe with a microfiber towel. I just had to clean a million corpses off my grille, bumper, and windshield yesterday. Drove 3.5 hours home from Green Bay in the evening after an all day rain shower. The humidity brought them out in droves. At one point, I ran into a huge cloud of them. I was sure they dented my Jeep, lol.
