B billyo Track Warrior Points 167 16 April 2010 #1 What is the easiest way to shift bugs, there seem to be loads about at the moment and the wipers are just not coping with them. Any tips? If I polish the windscreen will that stop them from sticking?

Generic automotive glass cleaner works very well. Cleaning the blades makes a huge difference. I glad it's not just me who does this. I'm not totally sure about using vinegar, which is PH +ve. There's a tiny risk of catalysing acid corrosion.
