Default Nose mask over clear bra on trip?

I have a clear bra from bumper to windshield and have heard how difficult it is to get bugs off of it after many days on the road. Do any of you use a nose mask over your bra on extended trips? Any other pointers such as using some wax/etc. on the bumper /hood before hitting the road?

Thanks as always in advance for any replies.

IMHO putting a nose mask over a clear bra is overkill. Wax it up real good when you start and wipe it down at night and hit it with some detail spray and you should be good to go. The trick is to get them off as soon as you can. Have a safe trip.

I use a Colgan over the clear bra all the time for extended road trips. Makes the clean-up a lot easier and gives additional protection as well.

I have an OEM bra and it's a bitch to get on the car unless the bra is warm, they are rightfully tight.I install when hitting the road for a trip,than uninstall when I get home. I've put the bra in the dryer on high and that seems to help with the install. Good luck

I have XPEL clear film protection. XPEL makes a cleaning/protection product specifically designed for this material. It is like putting on a Teflon coating.

RejeX is the best product I have used for bugs. After a trip down I-10 on the Gulf Coast during Love Bug season, the front was near black with the pest, but a jet stream from the garden hose took all of the pest off the front... Here's a link to check...http://www.rejex.com/rejex.html
