Over zealous onlookers, really tough to scrap off.

The worst thing I've had stuck to my Stingray happened when I passed a truck hauling live cattle. Immediately after the truck went by I noticed brown liquid on the windshield. When I stopped I found the stuff on the front and top of the car. Since it was a very hot day I let the car cool off and then washed it thoroughly. Everything washed off and there were no stains.

Worms, I hate when they get thrown up unto the rocker panels, then decay and solidify. Another favorite; neighbors grass that his mower deposited on the road, now stuck on the rear bumper of my car.

Hydrogen peroxide cleans them up pretty quickly as does RainX windshield bug remover. I rub the front of the car with a dry dryer sheet when the car is cleaned up; dunno if its an old wives tale or not but it sure seems to lessen the number of "stickers".
