Cleaning tip needed - 53-55
Being a FL resident we enjoy great weather. Unfortunately we are not alone. Bugs seem to thrive in this weather also.
Looking for any creative ways you have found to clean your headlights, headlight buckets, and (a little easier cleaned) headlight screens.
Not really looking to take the screens off as I spent way too much time putting things on the car to start taking them off.
I have been using my compressor to blow out the water when drying, but really have not found a good way to get behind the screens to clean.
Thanks for any help.

That is what I have been trying.
These love bugs are like glue though. I need to find some sort of spray that will dissolve them without hurting the finishes.

Apply a couple of coats of a really good wax on your headlights (or, better yet, get them ceramic coated) At least this will give the bugs less to adhere to and make cleaning easier.
