Does anyone out there have a magic solution to make bug removal easy?? I'm now on my second coach with this shield and swore I wouldn't buy another one after my first experience, but bought a show coach with one already on it. None of the liquid window cleaners seem to do the job without a great deal of hard rubbing which will scratch the plastic even with a soft cloth or paper towel.I always try to get on this pretty quick before thebugs harden, but that's not always possible.I once had the bright idea to protect the shield with Rainex but I checked with Mills and they told me not to put it on the plastic. Any suggestions will be appreciated.

Our CC book recommended Plexus. Not real easy to find, but does a great job on the coach armor. Seems to make it slick again and bugs come off pretty easy.
Go to someplace like www.lycos.com (http://www.lycos.com) and search on Plexus. That is how I found a source. A vendor also had it at the rally in Perry.

I have it on my '99 Allure and would not be without it. First trip out west in it an 18 wheeler came by me on some pavement that had been grooved. He threw gravel all over me-had over 20 chips in the winshield but the coach armor saved the front end from a complete re-do. Someone said that for 1500 bucks you could have the front end repainted 3 times---where? Maybe 10-15years ago.
I vote for the Coach Armor. Maybe a little hard to clean but my front end still looks great.

Another vote for the coach armor. We had an 18 wheeler throw a recap tread right in front of us. It smacked the coach armor head-on, leaving only a few black streaks that came off with tar remover. After passing under the coach it actually dented the front of our toad.

Here's my 2 cents worth. We've got a CC Prevost and because it is a Prevost CC calls it "Bus Armor." ( HA HA. Well that only means CC charges us more for it than the one they install on a fiberglass coach.) Same thing different words. I like it when we travel on highways and see and hear the stones, etc. that hit us. But when it comes times to clean the bus, I'd much rather have the 3M coating.
Now the 3M is prone to allowing damage from extremely fast hitting and large projectiles. There the damage is not to the paint but to the actual surface under it. In our case that's aluminum. Not too sure how fiberglass would be affected. The other problem I've just encountered is that one of the screws that holds the snap on the aluminum is now stripped and when I remove the hex screws that hold the armor onto the front, one snap comes along when I fold if forward. That means when I close it up one point is no longer even attached to the bus. All things being equal I'd probably order bus armor on a new Prevost while I would order 3M on a fiberglass unit.
I am not worried about yellowing since I have yet to see it actually be a problem with 3M (while other brands have had this problem I understand that the #m product does not.) Of course a lot would depend on whether we were buyin off the lot or ordering new.

While touring the factory last week I was told that CC no longer offers the coach armor as an option. In it's place is the plastic film with a suggested retail cost of $1330 if memory serves me correctly.
Like the old coach armor, the plastic shield is installed by an outside contractor not by CC people.

Walt: I bought some acrylic polish at a plastic products supplier in Salt Lake. It appears that any mild polish will work. Heavy duty products will no doubt scratch the surface, but the cleaner/wax auto products work also. A good application makes it easier to get the bug off when washing. I'm told to avoid machine polishing because it might overheat or burn the surface. Good ole elbow grease does the trick. I've also used the waterless products that are commonly sold around the RV hangouts. My problem with waterless is that it works you to death! Lots of rubbing and polishing to get it off.

Walt,
I use Novus plastic products. It is what the coach armor people advise using. I purchased it at a plastic supply who stated it is all they use---but they sell it. My armor was 5 years old and appeared milky. I was thinking of replacing it. Novus #1 is a spray on cleaner that sprays on & wipes off. It's ok if only trying to clean dusty shield. I use Novus #2(fine scratch remover) almost exclusively. It made my shield clear again. I redo it once a year.
Very pleased with results. They have a Novus #3(heavy scratch remover) but I have not used it.
Hope this helps

I know you can still purchase the bus armor directly from Walt at Acrylic Masters in Junction City. I have owned three CC and have Bus Armor on each one...I think it is an important safety feature. I personally know of a person who hit a deer and it did not do any damage to the front of the coach except push the sandoffs into the fiberglass. I know of another case where someone was on an accident and they believe the Bus Armor saved their lives. 3M film has problems with dirt getting under the edges of the film and then starting to lift. The paint on the coach could come off with the film if one tries to replace the film. Each and everyone of us has our own opinion...I like to put safety first. That is just my 2cents worth. Thanks,

Thanks, that's what I'll use. By the way ... the manufacturer's rep said that, if my Armor is made of butyrate, it's high-impact butyrate. So ... it may not be as strong as Lexan, but at least it's better than the "low" impact stuff .
BTW, I don't like the appearance of my Coach Armor ... on the other hand, I don't like rock nicks, either. And I can't think of a solution other than to have a removable bra, and they have disadvantages, too ...

I didn't like the appearance of mine either until I waxed both sides with the Novus #2 plastic polish. Mine was almost a milky color & is now clear. If you have some bad spots you might want to try the Novus #3 which is a heavy scratch remover--I didn't try it. The #2 is a light scratch remover & worked great. The #1 is a cleaner and I seldom use. I purchased them from an area plastic supplier for $5.00 a bottle--still on bottle one.

For the time being, I re-inserted the chrome screws that held the armor in place back into some of the more visible holes (4 on the upper front, and 2 on the chrome plates).
The attachment plates from under the windshield wiper arms can be removed easily.
The velcro came off without any damage (pinesol took off the glue residue).
There are now 7 holes left that are on the generator-slide door and the bumper. I'll get to those once I figure out how to patch fiberglass. There are plenty of patch-sets available at boat places, etc.
PS. The holes are a lot less visible than the hard-to-reach dirt-area behind the armor plate. I may never fix those little holes.
It is likely that for the same reasons we don't like the armor, the guy that used to put them on in Junction City is now in another line of work.

Some folks have wanted to remove the 3M material after a few years because of discoloring and blemishes etc. It is a slow, and therefore expensive, process if the removal is hired out. Some paint may come with the peeled off 3M stuff.

Removed my Coach Armor three years ago as it was discoloring and cracked. We were going to have the 3M installed but after looking around found it did not stop stone chips to the front end. We went the other route and had a 'Bra' fitted to the front end. Although it doesn't look that good we only keep it on when traveling on the Road. It comes off whenever we are parked. Over three years and 23k miles and not a stone chip and the front end still looks like new. There is a down side to a 'Bra'. It is recommended that you do not leave it on for extented periods especially if it gets wet on the backside.

Al, a company called Summit still makes "coach armor". They call it Body Block. It is superior to the original in a number of ways including quick releases and hinges for cleaning. I replaced mine and it is very good. I got the smoked color. BTW, it is Lexan, not plexiglass. Here is a link: http://www.rvstainless.com/ShopbyProducts/BodyBlockShields/tabid/64/Default.aspx (http://www.rvstainless.com/ShopbyProducts/BodyBlockShields/tabid/64/Default.aspx)
As far as the 3M stuff is concerned: my understanding is that if you mainly deal with bugs and dirt, it can be OK. If you are deal with gravel or rocks, the 3M ain't Lexan. Gravel goes right through the film.

I had my coach armor replaced after I rear-ended a pickup. Summit got the drawings from Mills Manufacturing after it went out of business. It is a fairly close copy, the bottom is down a little lower. But I must say, it is sure bight and shiny! The old one had gotten cloudy from it years of pebbles and sand wearing it. So I am happy with it. The body shop had a bear of a time installing it, though.
