Adding any wax or sealant or coating is better than nothing. It is however best to remove the remnants of those buggie guts quickly. Keep a small zip lock bag with some MF towels and Poorboys Bug Squash. You can transfer some to a small travel size bottle for easier travels.

As a Florida resident, trust me this product rocks !!

You are correct the slicker you keep your paint with Sealant or wax the easier they will come off however like mentioned the sooner you can get them off the better......
I like to use Waterless Wash and the Waterless Wash MF Towels.....

Advanced emulsifiers and special lubricants make our Adam's Waterless Car Wash a safe and effective way to remove light surface dust and dirt without harming your clear coat. It's the perfect choice when your access to water is limited or you just want to conserve H20.

Why Go Waterless?

Your car doesn’t always need a full bath with soap and water. Light surface dust, finger prints, or other minor surface contamination can be easily and safely removed using Adam's Waterless Car Wash. It saves water and it's quicker than a traditional wash as well! It also prolongs your wax or sealant life by using a less invasive method to clean, it can also be used in direct sunlight.

How Does it Work?

Spray Adam's Waterless Car Wash on moderately dirty finish, wipe clean with Adam's Waterless Wash Waffle Towels. Special lubricants and wetting agents encapsulate dirt, making it easy to clean the paint without damage and without water.

How is it different than Detail Spray?

Adam's Waterless Car Wash is a more effective cleaner, and has more lubricant designed to remove larger dirt particles without causing swirls. It also has no gloss enhancers, so it leaves your paint clean but not glossy. Follow Adam's Waterless Car Wash with Adam's Detail Spray to enhance the gloss!

When we travel to Florida I apply several coats of RejeX to the front end and mirrors. Bug guts rinse right off most of the time with very little if any scrubbing.

Old School solution for just doing road trip. Have used PAM cooking spray and washed off at end of the trip. If you are Italian you can go with garlic flavor
