Lovebug Protection

[Cayne]

What should I use to protect the paint against lovebugs?

Xpel or other brand full frontal bra. I used to use spray Pam to coat everything and then wash frequently along with a screen to keep 'em out of the radiator. What a mess...

I use the Adams Quick Sealant on the front end, mirrors, wheels, and step bars about every 3 months for extra protection. With it, bugs and grime are much easier to clean off!

I have to ask... What the heck is a lovebug?

Lovebugs swarm in the southern states twice a year and leave your vehicles covered in them

And if the guts aren't removed fairly quickly, it will eat the paint. Have to clean pretty much every day!

There used to be a product called bug be gone, works real good. Has to be every day no matter what you use. I bought so much of it haven't needed to buy in a few years. You spray it on hit with a little water wait a few minutes spray the bugs away.

since they (love bugs) are seasonal, try using spray clear silicone (a cheap yet reliable solution) on the front of your vehicle, including the back of side view mirrors, a-pillar post and top front edge of roof line (above the windshield). works great, does give a light greasy type surface application but won't dry and is easy to wash off with conventional auto car-wash detergents (but do avoid getting it on your glass). I've used it for years when I lived down south in LA, home of the horrendous love-bug
