Protect bodywork against flies

[SteveandSueJ]

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

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?

Yes, I use it as a general cleaner inside and out.

Don't go to Spain. No flies in England at the moment too wet.

Always wax the front end before a trip and clean the screen & front end each time we stop.

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

Place a Tumble dryer sheet in a empty squirty bottle fill with cold water, leave for a while then just squirt on fly mess and wipe off with a soft cloth.

Cover the front of your Motorhome with Cling Film and peel it off at the end of your trip, jobs a goodun

Some good advice here, thanks everyone. Hope it's also of use to others....

I understand the "rain in Spain stays mainly on the plain", perhaps a day trip around there will soften the little beggers up for easier cleaning? .
