just be glad you don't have love bugs. they are the worst. thick gobs of them in the FL roads just starting this time of year. they will eat through your paint very quickly if not removed.


I'm sure my other FL guys can chime in.

going from socal to norcal you go through a lot of "no-man" area and tons of bugs there, especially when you drive during the early morning or late afternoon when the temperature is just right, the number of bugs is just unbelievable

this is nothing already, one time i left norcal at 6 am in the morning and got to LA before noon, i did a rought estimate, there was at least 1000 bucks on my bumper, hoo, windsheild, and side mirrors. it was just crazy. i purposely didn't turn on the wipers coz' i don't want anything to stick on them. took me 1 hour just to wash the front of the car. and my radiator was full of bugs too....

and yes, with clear bra, these things come off a lot easier

Haha I can attest to the clear bra making it easier to clean! The last two trips i've been up in the last two weeks to NorCal have been a true test. The RX330 faired better since it sits higher from this past weekend. The IS on the other hand, that looked ugly since it sits lower to the ground from two weeks ago.

Im with you chuck. I wash off the front of my car every night because of them. I think we are just now getting to the peak of the season when there are the most
