Default Summers coming.

Got loads of bugs squashed on my windscreen - it reminds me what it's like in the summer. Another tip "don't put your head through the sun roof and open your mouth"

The strange thing is that you would have thought if you travel at speed the slipstream of air over the car should knock the bugs clear! Any easy methods for removal? Is it just me?

Wrap your windscreen in climg film before you go out an when you get back just peel it off. Job done.

If you have sunbaked bugs on your screen, spray it with a bleach free kitchen cleaner before you get your bucket etc ready. by the time you put sponge to car they should have all softened up.

I use a bug remover spray which really softens them up and makes cleaning easier.
