Washer fluid for removing bugs

Benzino

It's that time of the year, where flies meet a grisly end thanks to my windscreen. Unfortunately my current washer fluid (came with car, no idea of brand) is not up to the job of removing the remains and it usually results in me having to wash the windscreen after every journey.

Any recommendations of a washer fluid that is effective at removing bugs?

Washer on cars are useless when it comes to juicy bugs. I was in same situation and gave up.
Instead of washer liquid I got myself a roll of paper towels and window cleaner. When I get to work, I give it a wipe, if its bad after I came home, I give it a fast wipe.
Sounds stupid, yes, but if it works, its not stupid.

Yeah, the only brand I found to work well is Elbow Grease.

Nothing stupid about it at all. I shall do it myself and just pick up any brand of washer fluid in Halfords (nearly out). Cheers!

Windscreen , headlights and bumper get a good wipe down nearly every day.

Neighbours think I'm crazy.

What's worse is that my wife is the one driving the car not me.

Just one journey from Galway - > Dublin is enough for the front of my car to look like a bug murdering machine. The sun literally bakes them on as well.

I went through an automatic car wash and there's still a bit left - so yeah the best thing to use is some elbow grease.

I got a bug spray in Halfords and a special sponge and with the 2 of them there's no elbow grease at all. Cleans the bugs off very easily.

I wonder would bug deflectors ever become big in Ireland? Most cars and trucks here in Toronto have them.
