window,wood grained dash,GoRhino! wheel

What have you guys/gals found to be the BEST winshield wiper fluid to get/keep the bugs off your windshield?
I am currently using green Rain X (pink is the winter stuff. Green is the summer stuff.)
Nothing seems very good at getting those bugs off my glass! Thanks in advance!

Try treating your windshield with Rain-X or Aquapel treatment. It seems to make the bugs a little easier to get off, not to mention the awesome improvement in sight when it's raining.

Try a thin coat of spray wax, preferably Meguiars because it's almost clear, buff until clear. 3M also makes a good cleaner/protectant in an aerosol type container.

Post Removing BUGS from windshield!!

I tried a product called Bug-Z. Comes in a small bright orange bottle. You can use it straight on a rag or put some in washer fluid for summer months. I think I got it at an AA auto parts?? seems to work good. Only had a chance to use it once before weather got colder.Here is mfg info: Bug-Z Cleaners, LLC PO Box 4226 Charleston WV 25364.

okay, try this it sounds crazy but works. a friend had the same problem and he puts cheap vodka into his washer tank along with the normal blue stuff. keeps it from freezing and removes even the toughest bugs like lovebugs and bees.
