Where I live I have a lot of bugs crash into my windshield and front of my truck. What are some good products that I can use to help get rid of the bug stains so I can keep my paint looking new

Either Windex or Meguiar's Glass cleaner for the windshield. And keeping a good coat of wax on your truck will make the bug marks come off easier. Just wash them off your paint.

Wash often is the only remedy. I like to clay bar my truck, it helps the removal process. I also have an air filter from a vacuum in my garage I use as a soft scrub pad, it has the same texture of a dryer sheet. A little rough enough to scrub but also light enough not to scratch

I use a bottle of rain-x in the washer tank it helps repel anything wet. Over time works good!

You guys dump rain-x right into the washer fluid? Never heard of that. I love rain-x and use it religiously. I'm gonna have to try that!

Well. Not the straight rain x. Just the windshield washer fluid. Just to make it last a little longer. But I can't see why it wouldn't work. I guess just a little wouldn't hurt

So what is everyone's situation with bugs on their windshield? I can go a week and count 12 bug splats, but buddy's chevy you can't even see out the window after a week. I have a bug deflector, but I don't believe that's what keeps the glass so clean.

Deflector sure helps. Changes the way the air hit you. Forces them to fly over. I use a heavy coat if rain x they come right off with the windshield wipers

It's just so surprising that little plastic can work like that.

You know Rain-X makes washer fluid? Ive been buying it for years, has the rain-x treatment and it doesnt freeze. Since I started using their washer fluid Ive not had to apply the treatment. As for getting off stuck on bugs, I clay bar my glass, that will get everything off.

I use it. Works great. I still put a fresh coat on my windshield from time to time. But it def replenishes it well

Yes just old habits hard to break and I also use the anti-fog version on the inside to keep it clear. Also helps to keep glass cleaner since moisture leaves residue after drying.
