Default Bugs, Bugs, Bugs

Took the sacramento River Levee Road from Clarksburg to Antioch the other night. Next morning when looked at Vette had bugs all over the front, on the windshield and to my surprize even on the rear end......

I am amazed that those bugs can travel even faster than the Vette !!?!

Bugs on the rearend were probably due to the way the air flows over the backend and eddies up behind the car. Same way brake rotor dust gets on the backend.

Default windshield bugs

apply Meguires Spray Wax Detail on the glass [F n R], sure the bugs will stick..BUT a lot of em won't, and it's so much eaiser to clean the glass and when using your duster.....

Default Don't Bug Me ...

Get one of the nylon bras from

http://www.c5reations.com/c6.php

Instant-on, instant-off, stores in 1/2 of one of those little trunk compartments, when it gets bugged-up or dirty just throw it in your washing machine.

If you apply stuff to your window glass, be mindful of its effect on your wiper rubber. I once tried Rain-X. Worked great on the glass, but had a drying/stiffening effect on the wiper blades, such that i had to replace them. No more Rain-X for me.
