Default RE: bugs

to remove them you can use lots of elbow grese or
use bounce dryer sheets (just what i have here at the house so i havent tried other brands)
they will take the bug goo off of most paint unless it has eaten threw the clear coat but it would have to be there a long time

Also after you was your car use some pam cooking spray on it.

use the unsented un flavored stuff to keep them off of it.

Dryer sheets? What do you do, just scrub the bugs with the sheets? They feel kind of course to me, at least the ones we use...I would be nervous. I was curious about a solution to this problem because I do alot of highway driving so you can imagine what the front of my car looks like...

that works too, anything with an oil in it isn't going to hurt your paint,

Just washed my car today, the front end was absolutely caked in bug guts and blood. Just wanted to share what I did that seemed to work pretty well. I made the nose of the car the last part that I washed, BUT, as soon as I started washing the car I hosed down the nose, and then hosed it again every time I picked up the hose, keeping the front end soaked the entire time, in effect soaking it like a dirty frying pan. Then, by the time I got to actually washing that part of the car, it only took a minimal amount of scrubbing and absolutely everything came off. I was surprised, because I was going to try the dryer sheet thing, but didn't have to.

I drive alot at night also going to work and what not and my front end is completely plastered - I see a ton of recommendations but there isn't really a key one to use.

Does it sound like the PAM spray is the best way to go in getting it off. Gosh does it make my car look like ****.

Recommendations are appreciative.
