    I get mine clean with an SOS pad then let them dry. Then spray the #### out of them with Lucas speed wax and dry them off. If I get a truck wash I get rainx or whatever spray wax they are offering. Bugs can’t stick to slick surface.

    That long handled windshield washer at the fuel island works well,,:eek: don't have a lot of flying bugs in Colorado, unlike Wisconsin that required a putty knife for removal.

    Someone told me to spray WD-40 on the chrome and stainless. He swore it worked well, claims to do it weekly. Looking at his truck, if that's what he's doing, it seems to work. His truck is a '99 and looks like it should be in a museum.

    Anyone ever try it?

    Switch to a weed burner and take more naps with all your free time.
