Warm water and car washing soap. Dish soap can be too harsh.

SOS pad followed by a good coat of wax, next time they will wash right off.

0000 steel wool and foaming glass cleaner. Works wonders on chrome and glass. Then coat with wax as mentioned.

Agreed! I’ve been using this method for many years!
Just make sure it’s “0000” “Ultra Fine”! Keep it away from painted surfaces but it’s safe on glass and chrome!

I use cheap spray wax for removing bugs. It works like a charm and leaves behind a little protection.
Just spray it on and gently rub with a towel.

That old can of green Turtle Way is also really good for removing bugs.
