Bug Removal

Know it's been posted already.

Works so great it deserves repeating.

Just got done "removing" bugs from the front cap.

I say "removing" instead of "scrubbing" because it's so easy.

Using a damp Bounce dryer sheet and the bugs just seem to melt off.

X2 I will add this make sure after you use the dryer sheet you rinse very well or you will have a white haze left behind.

Also works great on the front of your tow vehicle, and makes it smell nice! If you have wax on the surface, the Bounce sheet likely strips the wax as well though so that would have to be reapplied.

I have been keeping a spray bottle with Simple Green in my wash bucket. I spray the front cap with that first and let it soak a few minutes, then wash and wax as usual. Works like a champ.

Simple Green is good, but that and a lot of other products also take off the wax which is on the unit (so does Dawn dish soap). Just make sure to re-apply some sort of protection or wax afterwards.
