Seems that we have more bugs this year than last year... and they ALL seem to like splatting on my car. What do you use to get them off? Sometimes the high power water at my local car wash takes them off, but sometimes they won't. Anyone use anything specific?

Bug Deflector's, Le Bra, etc. are all ugly IMO.

You can always just put an additional coat of wax on the front surfaces for daily driving and just take it off for the weekend cruises and such. That's what i did when i drove the LX out from Cali (in the midst of the Monarch butterfly migration throught southern Arizona http://64.81.114.233/ubb/smile.gif) SPATTT!!!!

3M Bug and Tar remover seems to work best for me.

I've never had a problem with the finish using the 3M, 360. However, it's always advisable to test on a small surface (like the lower front valance) to be sure.

Also, you will probably have to re-apply your protective wax to the area you sprayed.
