Using your cars windshield washer & windshield wipers is NOT the way to
remove dried bug splatter from a windshield. It only will work on fresh
hits and small insects, but not large splatters or something that's been
dried up for three hours. Your wiper blades will ride right over the
splatter and smear it.
Purple Power (brand) Bug Wash & Wax is available (in a see thru green
bottle) in a trigger spray bottle and can be used on the grille, hood,
bumper & glass and works well when you use one of those net wrapped
yellow Bug Sponges.
Keep in mind you have to rinse the stuff of with water. I carry a gallon
of water in the trunk in the summer.
I've use Bug Wash since 2005 and it has worked fine on long road trips.
It works good combined with the squeegee at the gas stations. But
remember alot of gas stations fill their windshield washer containers
with straight water in the summer to save $$$ on not having to use
washer fluid. And using just straight water doesn't always work the
first time, you got to go over the winshield twice, or three times.
I didn't notice much difference in how the bugs stuck to the windshield
when I had applied Rain -X to the glass.
Really stubborn bug residue can also be removed from the windshield
using your ice scraper or a razor blade.
good luck,
