Question Bug issue

We took a trip out to Mt Rushmore. Western South Dakota must have the most bugs I think. We cannot get all the bugs off the RV. We have tried everything but nothing seems to work very well. In small areas damp dryer sheets work very well. Our Class C Jayco Greyhawk has a large area over the truck that is hard to clean with dryer sheets. Any suggestions from anyone about this all to common problem that is driving us crazy. There must be something to clean large areas!

I use acetone for large areas. Just be careful over any decals because the acetone can cause them to discolor

Dryer sheets also make a good scrubber.

Scrubbing Bubbles worked great for my fiberglass front end. Also did great job on black streaks.

A little late now, but I have read to use baby oil on the front surfaces. Bugs will wipe off easily. I will be trying that.

I just got on to this from my neighbor. Spray a little Simple Green and wipe with this cloth and the bugs literally fall off. I have even used this cloth with straight water with amazing success. It does not harm the painted finnish or wax. Pretty pricey for a dish rag but it really works.
I put the cloth over my extend a brush to do the windshield and bingo, a couple of swipes and bugs be gone.
