I have clear bra on car and wipe with damp shammy or micro after I get in from a drive! The new Turtle wax ICE quick detailer has worked well so far. I do try each product on the market, Zaino is best but as a clean freak I get pulled to the next best thing!!

I totally agree with the dryer sheet post. When I first heard it, I thought it was a joke, but I tried it and it works great. Of course I keep Zano on the front too, but for quick, low cost bug removal that won't hurt the paint, go with the dryer sheet. I have found they work better after they have been run throught the dryer too.

I heard that dryer sheets worked good for bugs but have not tried them yet.

I first read about using Rejex on the nose makes bug removal very easy on this forum last year when I bought my vette, and they are correct! I use a spray bottle of filtered water, get'em wet, wait a minute or 2, and they wipe right off with a microfiber towel. Doesn't matter if I do it when I get home, or wait till the next day, they come off just as easy!

I just used the new Rain X bug and tar remover today,tried it on my truck first(has been back and forth to Houston a few times).It worked great.Used it on the vette and was the same.It goes on like a clear gell,you let it sit a minute and they come right off with very little pressure...Good stuff..

After you try all of those great suggestions, and she is all nice and bug free. Give a few coats of good quality wax, this will add protection for next time.

I can't imagine the paint enjoying that to much. That stuff is pretty coarse fresh out of the bottle.
