Im off around europe this summer and Im after some suggestion for screen wash and bug remover... The last time I did this trip, I forgot to buy bug remover and my car ended up covered in them. I did however have prestone bug screen wash and it worked a treat, however it looks like it has gone the way of the dodo. So please any suggestion for some screenwash and bug shifter/remover

cheers

Coarse sponge and some regular 'summer' screenwash in a bottle.
(Obviously for glass only, not paintwork)

A lot of French petrol stations have sponges etc that do a good job

Their supermarkets also flog a good range

I find regular squirting with a good concentrate helps keep on top of it

Also at night when it's cooler try to give the screen a good blast and turn the car off before the wipers remove it

Soaking over night helps

This.
So do I, the same kit I use in England. The bugs don't know which side of the English Channel they're on, why should I treat them differently?
