Default Wax for bugs

OK, going on a trip to Bowling Green. What is the best wax to make bug clean up easy?

I have a AW and I use Maguires 2.0. And then use Maguires quick detailer to remove bugs. Since I have been doing this I have no problems getting bugs off. They wipe right off.

I lightly wet the front of my vette, and put a strip of saran wrap across the main area near and between the headlights. When I get there, I peel it off and voila, most bugs are on it. I then use some warm water (from the water bottle I carry in the trunk compartment), with a small washrag that is in a freezer bag in the same compartment, and the rest of the bugs are gone in no time. Works wonders on the super thick bugs at times here in Florida.

Rejex and bug slide. I use it on the fairing of my motorcycle as well. The bug slide takes them right off.

Rejex, clean the front up real good, the put good coat (or 2) on it. Most of the bugs don't even stick or come off with the water hose. Better yet do the whole car.

Thanks

I found this on Amazon and they are great to deal with if you have a problem.

rejex sounds like the over whelming way to go but it is a tad bit expensive compared to most other wax. to be honest any wax will do, a trick I learned from other forum members is using dryer sheets to remove bugs. once u try it u wont believe how easy the bugs come off. simply wet the dryer sheet an wipe the bugs away done.

Rejex is worth the money, you get what you pay for.
a bottle will last a long time, other than putting on Expel on the front bumper you would have a hard time finding a betting product against bugs, I have tried everything.
