It hasn't gotten that bad here yet, it usually isn't too bad unless driving at night. I've never been to Alabama in the season, but I saw the effects of "love bugs" on a friend's car. He installed a special screeen just for his road trip out of Alabama last September. NASTY.

Lots of coats of Zaino and they wash right off. Even the dreaded love-bugs here in Florida. :shocked:

Yea, that sucks. I cant wait til the dreaded 17 year Cicadas get here. I think they start in mid May and last for 6 weeks. Those things are huge and can do some serious damage :banghead: . Guy

Same damn thing here in Michigan. It's even worse looking on my wife's white Grand Prix. Everybody's cars get the bug treatment (here), though, and I just try not to obsess over it too much! :crazy:

I have been wrapping a single sheet of saran wrap around the front bumper esp at nite when they go for the lites i just pull it off when i get home.I started doing this years ago before i left for a car show that way not so much to clean later.I have never gone over 80 with it on, and its never come off.

Since you just clay bared your Vette, now give it several coats of NXT folled up by a coat of Booster Wax.

Then each night hit the front bumper with a little spary of quick detailer, wipe off those damn bugs and follow up with another pass with Booster.

This will be far simpler than washing and maintain that slippery as glass surface which will minimize bug damage and adhesion.

I don't have a picture of them, but they are little black bugs that have one purpose...to mate. They don't live long, but when they splat, they make a mess. Their guts are somewhat acidic and will eat through the clear coat if they are not washed off. I recommend that you invest in good wax, wash the car every other week and wax the nose. If you plan a long trip in the State, invest in a bra. Wax the nose, then put on the bra and drive.

Move to Sunny Central California. We don't have bad weather, flying deedle dumpers, flimwhippers, or high humidity. I can drive my Vette 12 months out of the year. (the earth quakes in northern and souther California are faked just to keep out the tourists! :lolg: )
