Bugs sticking to my front bumpe is so bad, I usually have to stop to wash them off if I take a high speed ride at night. Anything to keep them from sticking to my front bumper? Someone mentioned spraying PAM on the front bumper to keep them from sticking. Any suggestions? Thanks.

I guess you could try keeping your bumper waxed. It will make washing them off a little easier. Turtle Wax and some other companies make spray on products to remove bugs and tar. I used Turtle Waxs one time and wasn't impressed....i'll try it again though. People have also mentioned that the Mr. Clean magic erasers take bugs off (there should be some in the auto section of your store).

I did a write up on Wet Paint ......I put a coat or two on the leading edge and the windshield before I head out. Most of the bugs just rinse off. The stubborn ones are easily wiped off. There's no real cure but this is the best solution I've yet come across......for what is's worth. we all know there's no bugs in Texas and driving distances are short.....right.

Can't buy it from me,I don't sell or represent it.
