Getting rid of the nasty bug splatter on your vehicle’s windshield can be a real pain, especially after a few failed attempts at cleaning up the mess with your wipers. By this time, you’re probably thinking about using other cleaning tools, including a windshield glass cleaner to remove the sticky guts smeared across the glass.
Why Do Bug Guts Appear On Your Windshield?
Wondering why your car is an entomologist’s field day? You’ll likely spot bugs sticking to your windshield if:
- You drive long distances.
- You’re driving in warm weather.
- You drive at night.
- You live in a region where there are lots of insects.
- You drive an older car that’s less aerodynamic than newer models.
Since insects have complex chemistry in their bodies, they tend to stick to your glass and harden when they sit in the sun. Unlike the dust and grime you usually encounter on your windshield, dead bugs are more difficult to clean.
Disposing of murdered bug bodies and cleaning a splotchy windshield isn’t on anyone’s list of favorite things to do. However, bug guts can build up quickly if the weather is warm or if you regularly drive at night. To save yourself the frustration of driving with poor road visibility, we’ve compiled a few tips for removing dead bugs from your precious car’s windshield.
Tips for Removing Bug Splatter Off of Your Vehicle’s Windshield
Soak the bugs in vinegar.
Dilute this natural all-purpose cleaner in a 1:1 ratio with water before applying it and letting the bugs soak for a few minutes. Use a microfiber cloth to gently wipe your windshield until it’s clean. Instead of rubbing hard, be sure to eliminate loosened bugs by wiping them away with a gentle back and forth motion.
Pour Coca-Cola on the bug splatter.
Coca-Cola contains carbonic acid that may help eliminate certain types of grime. Although amateur cleaners swear by this popular soda, you have to be careful when you use it to remove dead bugs from your windshield. Aside from ruining your paint job where it drips, the sugar in soda also tends to leave behind sticky gunk on the glass.
