Revive your bug infested windshield

Has anyone had any luck with any anti-stick coatings (i.e. RainX)???? Or - are there aftermarket windshields available with anti-stick coatings on them?

 

Rain X works well for me !

 

I spray degreaser on windshield. Wait couple minutes and wipers will clear the viewing area. We get herds of bugs on windshield…MayFlies are the worst…big fat juicy bugs.!!

Put Rainx anywhere you want a barrier between bugs and truck. I use Rainx on my hot rod glass and fenders during road trips.

 

Brother is now retired Air Force FF, current DOD employee as Fire Chief. They wax the fire trucks windshields often...

He told me about this waxing forever ago. just need to be careful around the rubber seal...

 

I wet the windows with the slop in the bucket and from the ground spray 409 scrub a little then squeegee I hit the bugs between Fargo and Steele every few evenings works good for me

 

I use rainex cause it makes a tremendous difference, especially if the glass and mirrors were never treated. You literally wont need your wipers for a few weeks. I’ll then do a quick retreat every 6 months or so.

I use the squeegee at the pumps because I’m not a complete lunatic. Of course skip it if the water has an oil slick on it. I used to keep a bottle of dawn to add a squirt in the bucket if it looks like its plain water.

I like using rainex washer fluid from walmart and that stuff works good too.

 

There’s an easy remedy for that, only put it on if its a nice day lol.

I used to use way to much and it was hard to buff off all the excess. Now I just use maybe 6 pumps on the whole windshield, 1-2 on the sides and whatever on the mirrors.

What smears like crazy? After a few days and a few fuel pump squeegee cleanings later there’s no residue left. I wont be reapplying until spring.

Admittedly, I’ve never used wax but I’ve had no issues with rainex, after a couple of days after applying it that is.
