    Use wax or Rain X on your windshield BEFORE the bugs come out, it will help them come off.

    Hubby keeps a small piece of indoor/outdoor carpet in his door compartment just for this purpose. Works well to scrub them off without scratching the glass.

    Let it soak longer between squeegeing them off. Soak and scrub twice. Should be clean by the time you fill both tanks.

    I use RainX on my bike helmet screens. #### works phenomenally well. Use RainX in my windshield washer fluid on my company van and it works great for the crap I put my van through

    1/2 cup of dawn dish soap mixed into the fluid works wonders.
