There is no magic way to get bugs off the front of the coach. Just wash them off, wash, rinse, wash rinse, wash rinse. Just keep washing until it comes clean. If you want to make cleaning the bugs off easier, you have to apply some type of coating, be it wax, Pledge, 303 or any other protectorant.
Before each trip (from home) I apply one of the things mentioned above to the front of the coach. If it's a long trip, I'll reapply a few times. When the front end has some protection on it, it will easily come clean with soap and water, or you can simply reapply one of the products above and it will easily come clean.
I can apply 303 or Pledge in about 10 minutes before a trip. Those 10 minutes are WELL worth the time it saves to clean the coach when it's not protected.

Pledge furniture polish was pretty popular on fiberglass boats several years ago.
I never used it, but my brother used it quite a bit back then. The problem, on his boat, was that after applying a good coating of Pledge, any dust that blew by, stuck to the fiberglass.
I suppose that applying to the front of a MH just before hitting the road might make it easy to get bugs off, once you are at your destination.
Might Pledge furniture polish cause some type of damage when using on a long-term basis (yellowing or deterioration of paint)?

I've been using WD40 on all kinds of painted surfaces- metal , plastic, formica, doesn't matter , for over 40 years and have never had a problem... Ever... Removes tar , bugs, oil spots, permanent marker, etc. Mineral spirits works great too. Just make sure you use "mineral spirits" and NOT lacquer thinner.[emoji15] [emoji16]

Spit! Well sometimes. I use Pledge and Rejex on my Beechcraft Bonanza and even a 200 MPH Grasshopper comes off fairly easy.

Bug splayts removal
I've found after several years of travel that to remove bug splatters, a dryer sheet (Bounce), works wonders. Wet the dryer sheet, wipe off the bugs, and wash with your favorite wash/wax product. The bug remains just seem to dissolve without harming the paint/vinyl surface. Works for me! Even the worst Florida Love Bug infestation is easily removed with this process. Works even on painted surface or clear vinyl covering.
