I use a blue kitchen scrubber with soapy water. Works well, doesn’t damage the finish and is cheap

I use this concentrated bugs-N-all, and I use this cordless power washer https://www.amazon.com/dp/B089F8LZ57...6QVB4ZBV6BXZD9

The power washer is great for hard to reach place’s like the front cap of my cab over bunk. I just fill up a bucket of water, if I’m at a truck stop, or you can use water in a clean, liter, soda bottle, (it fits the threads perfectly)!


I also use polyGlow on it 1-2x a year when I have it waxed.

Used drier sheets with Turtle Wax Bug and Tar Remover. Keep it slimy, let it set a bit, wipe off. Then clean and recoat with 2-3 coats ceramic was.

Magic Erasers use abrasives, not chemicals. I believe the original post was asking about chemicals, not abrasives.
I highly recommend NOT using Magic Erasers on your fiberglass. There are better ways that won’t damage what you’re trying to protect. I hope my two cents saves you three.

This is too easy though. Some of these contributors within this forum like to struggle.
For those people who want to work hard, a five gallon bucket filled with snowflakes and cotton balls is a start.

Not sure where you get your information....magic erasers are expanded melamine polymer. That's all. Talk to a polymer chemist.

It’s an abrasive. Period. Talk to your chemist or read. Melamine polymer that scratches granite and marble. (Rub it on your vanity mirror). It will scratch that too. I use them often as do millions of others who know how they work.
Please don’t mislead others, it’s not cool.
But do use your Magic Erasers how ever you wish, your trailer, your choice.
Good talk

X2 on Bugs-n-All, best on the market for bug removal. Takes very little effort to remove bugs or other grime.

Awesome Cleaner sold at Dollar Tree... contains no acid. I pre-soray, then wipe off using whatever soap you usually wash with.

I just used The "Dawn Ultra Platinum Powerwash Dish Spray." Compared to the many other products I have used it worked really well. Spray it on, and it is slow to run, let sit for a minute or so, then wipe off with little or no hard scrubbing. Rinse with plain water and majority of bugs are gone. For the more stubborn and second application may be needed. Sorry about the late reply but just found the post. Hope this stuff works for those who try it.
