    I like to spray windshield with diluted simple green in the morning. Let it soak for several minutes while I'm doing pre trip and then ill turn on wipers and all scum wipes right off.
    If you get windshield perfectly clean you can wax it and then bugs are way easier to wipe off.
    Any other tips/tricks please add them.

    What if you get thin plastic film and tape it over your windshield.
    Then when day is done you remove it simply and start over again next day. Or it you are coming up on rain you can take it off.

    Leaves windshield perfect and you don't have to spend forever scrubbing off caked on bugs and guts everyday.

    I found that Rainx applied weekly helps keep them from sticking.

    RainX works but make sure you get the windshield completely spotless before you apply it. Clean it really good with the foaming windshield spray 1st and dry it really good

    Yeah just like they do with NASCAR peel a strip off each time they pit that'll work.

    Rainx used to work really well. The garbage windshields we’ve been getting the last few years are sandblasted in no time. Then everything sticks like baby #### to a Hudson Bay blanket until you change them.
