With the warmer weather the almost vertical windscreen on my car is proving to be a bit of an issue when it comes to dead insects. I really can't believe how many bugs I seem to be picking up at the moment, after 50 miles or so it's like trying to look through some sort of gory insect massacre.

I've got a collect of potions to remove bugs when I'm washing the car, but it's not practical to wash the car daily or halfway through longer journeys. I've applied RainX to the windscreen which does seem to have helped a little, but I was wondering if any screenwashes are particularly good at shifting bugs mid-journey? All the cheap solutions I've been using so far just leave a smeary buggy mess which is much worse than before I used the wipers. Are they all basically the same?

As per another thread - Einszett Insect Remover.
On the screenwash front, nothing that I've used thus far, but just had a bit of an interesting read of a reply on DW about Bromoco's One Shot.
Might be worth having a look at or considering something like Nanolex Rain Sealant.

Einszett Windscreen Washer Booster and R222 Windscreen clean may well be the same stuff and both do a great job, without leaving nasty streaks on your bonnet / bumpers etc.
