Default Remove Bugs Fast

Along time ago I was told by a man in his 80s after I had been working on my travel trailer trying to get the bugs off with about everything you have been talking about, to go to the store and get a 28 cent box of ARM & Hammer Baking Soda. Wet a sponge put the soda on the sponge, wet the car and aply the soda to the car and watch the bugs disapear. It will not scratch or remove the wax, but will clean the car fast.
Try it and then let us know how it worked for you.

I have used it for many years, on many cars. Very eazy to use.
