Angry Bummed by my nose bra

Well its May here in Central Florida, and overnight it has turned into Love Bug season. For those who don't know what love bugs are, they are basiclly useless bugs that do nothing but mate and go back into the grass for 6 months. They don't bite, sting etc., but they have something worse. They have acid in their bodies, so when they hit your car and you don't get to wipe them off withing a couple of hours, you have pitted paint. Well I thought that I would put on my brand new nose bra, when I found out that it will not fit without removing the grill I have installed. Before I remove it, I'm going to try bugg-off, or if anyone has any other suggestion what I can use, feel free to let me know. I really don't want to take out that grill! Thanks

On top of ares suggestion I carry a bottle of quik detailer and a micro fibre cloth in the car and do a quick inspection and wipe down after a drive.

Love bugs are a pain in the A$$!!!
I would go with apsilon's idea and use the QD and microfiber...it's probably the safest bet to stop the pitting. The zaino will help the ease of getting them off, but it still won't let you leave them on for very long without damage.
