Quite correct. If you are driving to WDW in the next week or two pack a bottle of bug and tar remover and a few microfiber cloths. A good coat of wax before you leave will also aid in their removal as well.From my understanding, when they are on the front of your cars like that, to wash them off as soon as possible beacuse there is an acid in their bodies that can eat away at the clearcoat on cars!
Exactly because the two dollar car wash at the gas station WON'T get them off....Quite correct. If you are driving to WDW in the next week or two pack a bottle of bug and tar remover and a few microfiber cloths. A good coat of wax before you leave will also aid in their removal as well.
Again correct. If you soak them down with bug and tar remover prior to entering the car wash it well help a good bit but on its own the no touch car washes like the one at the HESS station next to the Boardwalk will do little to nothing to a smashed love bug carcass.Exactly because the two dollar car wash at the gas station WON'T get them off....
Are you talking about your actual headlights or an after market headlight cover? If it is your actual headlights that is brought on mostly by oxidation an there is a good fix. Wal mart sells the 3M headlight restoration kit for less than $20 and it works great.I can attest to the removal of the finish off your car. I already have permanent damage done to the front of my car where there were lovebugs smashed all over it. It looks like its still bug guts on my bumper but upon further inspection you will see the its actually paint missing off the car. Also my headlight covers are now semi frosted for the same reason. >.>
The bugs are at their worst on the northern stretch of the turnpike (for me at least). I have a bottle of bug and tar remover in my garage. We will be taking our new van down there next week, I'll be sure to clean it off as soon as we reach our destination.

That bird must have had Indian food the night before.:lol:Its a combination, the bulk of it is lens oxidation, but there are a couple of spots on the edges of them where there were lovebug guts for an extended period and there is a nice etched line in them now. I'll try that 3M stuff and see how it works. Thanks!! :wave:
Also on a similar note, some bird droppings will eat thru your cars finish as well. I had that happen to the roof on my expedition I had a number of years ago. There was bird droppings on there that apparently got missed after a few car washes. Once I finally saw it, when I went to clean it off there was exposed metal underneath it.![]()
