Default Removal of Dead Fly's

Use baby wipes, they really work and make it very easy no hard rubbing,

I have also been told that the work on the Black Streaks, and that they work on the residue of sticky labels on the windows ??

Hope this helps

Brian

Dryer Sheets - just slightly damp, work wonders on bugs

After washing your van rinse with bobby dazler from Fenwick's makes getting marks and flies off easy also gives a good shine to the van.

I thought of an angle grinder perhaps with a wire brush attached LoL

But as you say seriously baby wipes do work and they are a lot cheaper that the suposed purpose made caravan accessories, we usually keep the unscented ones handy ?? for all sorts of problems they do help to get diesel off your hands ?

I always keep them at hand and I find that the larger industrial ones are better!
