It's that season again here in sunny Florida. Damn, they stand out on white . Anyway, i can handle the day to day variety, but i have a trip to Tallahassee planned this weekend (from Tampa) and can't imagine the carnage. Any tips on what to do to the bumper/windshield/mirror areas. I plan on a nice coat of wax or two, anything else as far as preventative measures? And no, i don't have the resources ($) for a clear bra at the moment.

 

You're talking about VW beetles, right?

 

Haha, you're from the North; you don't get it...

Man, love bugs SUCK! Haven't seen too many around TX yet, but usually don't drive out of the city, which is where they get me bad.

 

lmao, if you all think that is bad, imagine here in the delta along the miss river where they ARE HUGE! bigger than ive seen anywhere i have ever been in my life. and thick thick swarms everywhere you go during the warmer evenings. dang, i just got through washing them off my car. 2nd time in 2 days

 

They fly around in swarms & make a mess of your newly waxed car .

 

Yes, the clear bra would certainly be very helpful, but if the funds are low you should invest in a decent alternative for front-end protection. If you have no choice but to endure the dreaded love bug invested journey, then get yourself a regular bra. They’re relatively inexpensive and they definitely do the job. It goes on and comes off with ease. People say that they're ugly, but you'll be the one with the exceptional protection, while they'll be wiping the acid laden bugs from their bumpers and windshields. You can even get the protection for your mirrors, too. I’d rather have that crap splattered on the bra than my paint job. You'll be glad that you gave yourself the edge.
