Soapy wash then Rejex once a year and use a soft wet cotton cloth to wipe the bugs away. Nothing sticks to Rejex.

I love Rejex. Works great on windshields.

I don't wash mine though. Spray the front down with a 50/50 mix of hydrogen peroxide and water and let it soak to soften the bugs, then wipe them off with a microfiber cloth. Then I use Meguires spray detailer. Works great for me.

I use S100 also works great, But also use FuKin wax on two micro fibre towels, for when it's just dusty or bugs all over the front, my dealership carries both

How about K1 Kerosene in the wash water? Had a new Ford Ranger back in 85 or 86 with Cragers and every time I washed it I used about a cup of kerosene in a bucket of water. Had it for 4 years and it still looked like new when I sold it. Haven't used it on anything else though.

I noticed a huge difference depending on well or city water, mainly due to hardness. In soft water pretty much anything works good, just watch the residues.
