I do live in Florida, so I'm well aware of how bad the "Love Bugs" can be on the turnpike.

However, I learned a couple of years ago, all you need to do is spray a coat of this magic elixir on the nose of your 'vette before you hit the turnpike.
The bugs will just slide off the car like it was Teflon coated! Amazing stuff!

We visited Scotty's Castle in September of last year as part of the Western Scenic Tour. It is a neat place in the middle of no where. I left two 30 foot patches of rubber on the approach road.

Nice! I'll take bugs over snow, and yes it's snowing here.

Yupper, it's great stuff.

I order it from Amazon. It's a few cents less than Wal-Mart, and delivered to my house with no charge for shipping.

Gotta love it...

These things are bug killers for sure Eric. Thanks for the pics, they bring back memories of our trip there.

All that stuff that happens to your car are simply badges of honor for being a road warrior.

Wet towel draped on them, let soak for 5-10 minutes, wipe off with a dry towel. Works like a charm.
