Help me keep the bugs from sticking
Do you know of any product I can pre treat the front of my truck and 5th wheel with that will help keep the bugs from sticking and drying on where they are hard to remove?
Additionally, what do you suggest I use when they are difficult to remove? Wet clothes dryer sheets are the best thing I have found so far.

Some have used Pam. I use RejeX on the front of my mh and the Lovebugs came off a lot easier this year. I also apply it to the windshield.

I've been using Pledge on the leading wings of my plane for years. Just wipe them off when done flying. Same for RV.

I've used Rejex with fair success in dealing with Florida's 'lovebugs'. Also found that the drywash liquid I bought at a recent rally provides a very similar finish to Rejex.

I just got done scrubbing mine and I found that Turtle Wax Bug and Tar Removal worked really well. A friend suggested NuFinish so I'm gonna try that.

I live in SW Florida the land of the love bugs. The best thing I've found is use rainx on your windows and a good silicone polish on the front.

Rain-X on the windshield and NuFinish on the front cap with an overlay of 303. The bugs fly off when I step on the brakes ... well almost  .

I use a good quality wax it's ok but not great, but I think i'll give Pledge a try. However for cleaning I now use a Mr. Clean Magic Eraser and the bugs come off very easy.
