Bugs, Bugs, and more bugs... Any advice?

[ccevans6]

My wife and I just returned from a trip out west and we encountered quite a few bugs on the trip back.   We have only owned the trailer since April and wanted to see how others have handled the issue of removing bugs from the Oliver.   We did not get the professional finish as we are planning to have that done next year.   In the mean time, any thoughts?

Bug and Tar Remover, then wash and re-wax.

As a first step, i wash off with alot of sudsy soap water and sponge bath, letting it soak the bugs, then go bug and tar remover for the relatively few that persist.

A professional ceramic coating will allow those bugs to wash right off with a PH neutral car wash soap.
We had our Oliver ceramic coated by CGI and they did an outstanding job. 🌟🌟🌟🌟🌟

Highly recommend! https://www.cgidetailing.com/

Pending your ceramic coating 🙂....a great / inexpensive option is Turtle Wax 50595 Power Foam Bug & Tar Remover.  Interesting video here from Dallas Paint Correction.  I am sure there are better products, but maybe not for the price and the foaming dwell time.  As mentioned in the video, good for bugs horrible for tar.  Citrol also works but is a harsh chemical.  Just a thought!

That Power Foam Turtle Wax bug remover gets high ratings.

Once you get your ceramic coating done you will find that the bugs are a bunch easier to remove.  CGI (that Patriot mentions above) has a product that will also aid in bug removal while enhancing and adding to the life of your coating - I believe that "Ceramic Shield" is the name.
