Right Funsters, Mrs ShiftZZ told me that she read somewhere that the French quite often put clingfilm on the 'overhang' to keep it clean.

Has anyone tried it?

i read somewhere of people putting cling film on the front of their overcab to help keep it cleaner as i believe that after a motorway journey it can become messy with bits of insects.

sounds like a good idea to me really its just a case if getting it on without creasing to make it look better.

I've seen it a couple of times and spoke to someone who did it on their overcab, although I've not done it myself..

Mainly used in the summer, so that it collects all the bug splat, you can then just peel off in a few seconds. Saves the soaking and rubbing that can be needed sometimes taking you ages to get the little BUG-gers off.

If you get some of the industrial rolls which are used in packing and holding orders together on pallets in warehouses it is quite quick and easy. They are about 1 metre wide rolls.

I would not want to try it with a 30cm roll from the supermarket...:Eeek:

Don't put it on your plastic windows, I read somewhere recently that a chemical reaction causes the plastic window to craze.

I've seen it used a few times in mid summer to protect the front of a rig from mossie guts. :Smile:

As posted before, AutoSmart G101 non-caustic cleaner available on Ebay
Spray on splattered bugs rinse off, best thing I have found for removing bug residue, no scrubbing no elbow grease no messing about wrapping your motorhome in plastic :Smile:
Loads of other uses cleans plastic tiles etc etc
