Hi,
Can anyone suggest a good way or product to use, to enable protection, cleaning and removal of flies from the bodywork of a clean motorhome? My spotless Rapido after 1000 mile's across Spain is covered in dead flies. Looking for any good tips on protection for ease of cleaning... Thanks in advance

Living the dream.
I use damp kitchen towel laid on the paint work and left for a while and I find the critters wipe away more easily 👍

Keep a good buffed wax on the front end and leading edges of the MoHo. Morning dew is your friend as it helps to soften the flies and aids easier removal. Microfibre cloth and McGuires waterless wash and wax helps to remove the soften flies.

I spray on a reasonably strong solution of "Unger" window cleaning liquid, give it a couple of minutes and wipe off with a micro fibre cloth.
Pretty well all the bugs wipe off on the first pass with the cloth.
Is that for the bodywork also?

Ceramic coating helps but also I have found this helps a lot and kind to the paintwork.
