Pledge works great, and keeps the bugs from sticking next time. It is my all round cleaner polish used with a micro fiber rag.

How 'bout warm soapy water and a lint-free towel dry?
It works as good or better than any "special" cleaner.

I use a 50/50 mix of white vinegar and water in a spray bottle. I do a 5800 miler every year from MD to West Coast, my son and I each carry a bottle and a roll of paper towels along. We clean windshields at each fill up, cleans off bugs, etc and no streaking. Does not damage Lexan WS.
