That's what I use on these big ass, prehistoric bugs in the sunshine state

I'm from the Sunshine State too.... however, "lovebugs"....they destroy the paint/finish on plastic bumpers. I park the camaro during the "twice-a-year" lovebug season that last about 4 weeks.

I keep the nose well waxed. On my pre wash I spray heavily with Adams Waterless Wash and let it soak until I get to the point in my wash where I use a jet spray nozzle to rinse car before washing.

Before driving spray the front bumper with Pam cooking spray and the bugs will not stick.

Which flavor? Butter, Garlic, Lemon, or Olive Oil?

None of the above unless you like to lick the bugs off then it's up to you.

Well, here's one no one mentioned. Car dealers have been doing it for years on their test drive vehicles. Use lemon pledge before you head out. The bugs don't stick. I and my friends have been doing this for years on our motorcycles. Just spray on and wipe with a microfiber cloth and enjoy not worrying about bugs. Just wash when you return and repeat. No expensive products needed. I have heard the dryer sheets work as well, although I have not tried them. I would think that they may be a bit abrasive.

Was at a auto body & paint shop getting paint for my older camaro and it was mentioned how wax and grease remover works great for removing bugs. Well I tried it on mine and it worked quite well. Better than bug and tar remover. Just wax the nose again when done.

Anything capable of removing or softening bug guts is going to be more than capable of removing your wax so after any bug removal process reapplying your protection is required.

I have used this as well and have good results with it on my wife's truck.
