I keep a spray bottle of dish soap water for checking for air leaks and cleaning my windshield. I spray it liberally on the glass before fueling up and by the time I got both nozzles in and pumping I wash my windshield like normal. Some spots take a little elbow grease but it still cleans a hell of a lot better than just the straight dirty water they put in the buckets.
Fish Flies And Dirty Windshield, what do you use to clean them?

the trick we do is we have a small bottle of dawn dishwashing detergent with us, can buy at any dollar store. When you pull up to clean windshield take a little squirt of that dawn and place on the pad part of the squeegee, like run a bead. Then clean your windshield. It takes those bugs right off windshieldLast Call, Another Canadian driver, Ffx95 and 2 others Thank this. -

Clean the windshield good and then apply rain-x. That will make the windshield clean easier.

Rather than Dawn, I use Fabuloso. No suds, cuts the bugs just fine.

You go to the truck stop, take the squeegee and get your windshield good and wet, wet the squeegee again, put a line of soap on the squeegee, and the bugs come off like a dream. Frequent use of the dish soap reduces the stickiness of bugs of your windshield. Anyone who uses the washer fluid and wipers is being lazy because that ain't doing a thing except make streaks. Dish soap seems to be nearly unanimous here

When mine gets bad I use the wipers at the fuel island and keep spraying water on it until it’s all loose. Good for a day where I go

Here's what I use.
Another Canadian driver and InTooDeep Thank this. -
I just wet the whole windshield before I fuel and then leave it while I fuel, and afterwards I might apply more and then take it all off. Or else I had to clean the windshield 2-3 times.
Another Canadian driver Thanks this.
