Plexus windshield cleaner

[newt]

At the moment for us, Vuplex is the only game in town. I have found Vuplex to be not as good as Plexus. I tend to use a lot more to get the same bug guts removal effect, and the press nozzle seems to be one that is prone to blocking up and a bit of an awkward design that doesn’t lend itself to an even press down. Vuplex is cheaper but I use more, (or waste it when the can is nearly empty,the nozzle clogs up, and I give up in frustration ).

You can pry the nozzle off and replace it with one you've liberated from a can of bug spray.

I haven't been able to find Plexus either but Vuplex has been the next best thing. The way I use it is to first remove the bug guts with a light spray of mild car wash diluted in a spray trigger bottle and clean water in a bucket and a microfibre cloth. After the surfaces are cleaned I follow up with spray of Vuplex and wipe clear. This removes any water marks and leaves a protective film that makes it easier to remove the bugs the next time around.
The bugs clean off easier right after flying, rather than maybe a day or two later when they are fully dried on and stuck.

With the bugs you guys have in Australia I think its surprising you don't need to use paint stripper to get them off your windscreen...!
