Probably spelled that wrong, but does anyone have any suggestions on a "pre soak" sray mix that could be put in say a "bug sprayer" (pun intended) to hose down the front of the motorhome to soften up the crusty critters prior to power washing them off?

Yes.....Wax.....Not to be sarcastic, but if you wax just the front every other trip (about 10 minutes) you'll find the bugs just rinse off.

Hmmm pam eh? Thats an idea. I do wax but they are not rinsing off thats for sure. I use Zaino too, which is pretty good stuff.

Zaino is good stuff but bugs will still stick. About the best thing I've ever used to get bugs off is a wet dryer sheet....Bounce, Gain, any brand will do. The bugs just come off with little rubbing. You will have to rinse the gooey stuff off but it really does work.

I have used WD-40 to loosen up the glued on critters. But, I no longer have to because I use Rejex. Rejex is about as close to being able to rinse them off as possible.

Murphy's Oil soap will do the trick. And its cheap stuff.

Here is a quick fool proof method. Bounce dryer sheets yep just wet the area down you want to debug and just lightly rub the area with the sheets works like a dream plus your hands smell great when you're done

Another vote for the dryer sheets - works as easy as anything I have tried. I put a bunch in the MH over the winter to ward off the mice - pick them up in the spring, put them in a zip-loc bag and use them up over the season for bug duty (or is that bug doody?)
