Getting The Bugs Off The Front Cap of the 5er? Best Practices?

So I keep the front cap of the Fifth Wheel well waxed but bugs still stick really bad?
What are some best practices for easier removal?
Does anyone use an electric pressure washer? Or is that to much power for the front cap?
Looking for peoples best practices to make bug cleaning easier and keeping the Cap cleaned better? I am a neat freak!

Thanks in advance,

MR

I’m an Adam’s Polishes fan boy, but their products really work.


My understanding is that you can’t have a cleaner that makes bug removal easy and does not also remove some of the coating, ceramic or otherwise.

I have ceramic coated my rig front to back and an RV brush and 303 Rv cleaner takes them right off.

You know what i completely forgot about? Hydrogen peroxide. I have never used it but we have Lovebugs down here in Florida and their blood, believe it or not, is acidic and can pit the finish of your vehicles so you have to get them off quickly. Folks swear by hydrogen peroxide. 50/50 mix of peroxide to water is what "they" are saying.
