Bug Guts on front bumber
Hi everyone... I bought my 350Z R about a month ago and when I bought it, it had bug guts embedded into the paint of the front bumper and they will not come out at all. I have tried over the counter stuff to attempt to get it out but have not been successful. I took it to a detailer and they would not buff it due to the possibility of ruining the paint. What are your suggestions?? Do I get a bra? Do I get a new bumper? Most cost effective route is what I would like to take...

I've noticed that the bumper gets pitted after hitting pebbles, bugs etc. on the road. I would recommend using a clay bar, some bug and tar remover to see where that leads you. The best option of course would be getting it repainted and have one of the those dupont clear bras put on.

Have the bumper sanded down and repainted. then after between 30-60days (check with the shop you have paint the car) go for some clear 3m bra. Personally i'll be getting a sheet of it and placing it on a few key spots of the bumper, not the whole thing.
Friend's of my dad's (who drive and own numerous ferrari's, cgts, ford gts, i think one even owns an enzo!) all get the clear 3m bra's put on the front and along the bottom edge of the car (side skirts etc) to protect the paint.
IMO its the best way to protect your paint from this kind of bs, while not really affecting the way the car looks. But this wont make a difference, unless the paint underneath the bra is good!
