A Good Cleaning Brush or ? for the Coach

[Winddancer]

Howdy, So I need to clean some of the bugs off my windshield. I got out my ladder and sprayed down the windshield to let the bugs soften before wiping them off and it occurred to me I had seen bushes on extension poles that would prevent me from getting on the ladder. Ladders and I have a love hate relationship. Anyway wondering what some of you seasoned pro's are using for cleaning your windshields and maybe your coaches with. Anyone have a cool tool that makes it easier or at least keeps me on flat ground?

Hi Lynn,

There are lots of wash brushes/windshield cleaning devices on extendable poles.

Here are a couple of Google searches...

Thanks 5Picker, so do you use a micro fiber brush or a soft nylon bristle brush. Do the water fed units work better than the regular brushes you dip in a bucket. A good old fashion scrub brush with a squeegee on it is always an option as well.

I use (and have for many years) a soft split bristle brush.
This is also the style brush used at the many auto dealerships I've been involved with in my career.

I have two. One on a shorter extension pole for the vehicles and another on a longer, more substantial pole for the 5th wheel.

I do not like the the water fed ones simply because you then have the weight of the hose hanging off the back end and it becomes cumbersome.

Lynn, my wife bought me some products at one of the RV rallies we attended. They seem to work pretty good for us. Home Page


Good Luck

You are welcome.

I suppose I should also mention (even though you specifically asked about a brush for cleaning bugs off your windshield) I also use a microfiber brush for applying a product I use called Wash Wax All.

While I don't use it to wash per se, I do use it for element protection and I like it really well.

Here is the reversible brush I use for that (Mr. Clean Microfiber Flip Mop Head) and a link to Wash Wax All.

Just get one of these for bugs and squeegee clean. These have been around for years and if it ain't broken don't fix it.

I use Wash and Wax All as well, great stuff. I use their double headed mop, apply with one side and dry with the other then throw the mop pads in the washer.
With the 4’-9’ telescoping pole I can reach the front cap. I think it’s a neat design the way it telescopes.

Very Cool, I just ordered a kit from Aero Cosmetics. I think I actually used some of their products years ago on my GoldWing Motorcycle. Anyway thanks again everyone, I know all of this may have seemed silly to some, but I am always wondering what others are doing and how they take care of things.

I carry a gallon of Rain‑X® Bug Remover Windshield Washer Fluid to wash the windshield with the above squeegee.

I pour Rain‑X® Bug Remover into a drywall mud tray.

Thing is with just plain water (enough of it with a little pressure) it will remove the bugs. At least it does for me.

My wife turned me on to News Paper and water to get my windows super clean.
