Bugs on Front of MH

I can't believe it hasn't been mentioned - SODA POP can be used to remove bug guts.

Here's a link to Readers Digest for 13 weird car cleaning tips:
13 Weird Tricks to Clean Your Car | Reader's Digest

If the bug strikes are old, spray the soda on and let is sit for a few minutes...then wash with a sponge or similar material...warm water will work best for the rinse.

If you are on the road and hit a swarm (like love bugs) you can usually find a Coke or Pepsi pretty easily for a roadside clean-up.

Of course, you will want to WASH IT ALL OFF, because the acid in the soda pop is what dissolves the bug strike, so any left over soda can leave marks - and the sugars in the soda (unless you use diet) can make things sticky, which makes the problem worse.

Best Bug Remover I have ever tried

Not kidding, get a new Bounce Dryer sheet, wet it and the front of your splattered toy and rub. You don't need to run hard and they are gone.
I have used these for years and there is No bad side effect.Try this and then post your results back here.

"Lysol DUAL ACTION" wipes they have the purple label. Use the side with the scrubber fiber. Works like a charm on the old love bugs and everything else. Does not hurt paint, but wash afterwards with soap and water as it will leave a film on windows.

A couple of things that have kept my motorcycle and m/h bug damage free over the years:

Meguiar's Gold Carnauba wax as the base and last line of defense, covered by Pledge/equivalent every time I clean the surface. (and furniture polish works wonders on a windshield with crazing; also sheds rainwater). Contrary to lots of motorcycle buffs, any brand name furniture polish will suffice and we all know cheap=more beer money

As to removing dried-on bugs from metallic surfaces, I spray the surface with water, allow to soak for a minute or two, then use the FINEST GRADE steel wool dampened. Takes them right off and doesn't leave scratches or dull the finish. For fiberglas surfaces I use some of those teflon-safe pot scrubber pads (whenever I can steal them without being detected by my senior partner)

Good luck

A tip from the person doing our walk through. We made a comment that there was a dirt Line on the awning, he pulled out a can of scrubbing bubbles and sprayed the awning and rinsed it off. He then told me to keep a can on hand as it was the best thing to clean bugs off the windshield and MH. And a lot of other cleaning chores.

I have a rule (and it's a smart rule): if I wouldn't use it on this (see pic below)...I won't use it on my Motorhome. So if it's meant for scrubbing pots, or cleaning bathtubs...nope! lol.

Something i have always used was a 1/4 cap full of Murphy's oil soap in my bucket mixed with meguiars car wash. Bugs come off with ease and water will bead better than anything i have ever used. And it does not leave a film on windows or paint.
