Be glad you don't live where I do. Right now it is lovebug season. They are everywhere and their guts are like glue!

 

Oh my gosh. Tiny Volkswagons named Herbie plastered all over your TCH.

 

Marc, You must live in gator country, had friends riding a motorcycle down there and took a nasty spill due to the lovebugs thick on the road, yuk!

 

Oh yeah, I just got done cleaning a bunch of love bugs off my HCH. Not very fun. And on Monday there will only be more.

 

Some of the bug and tar products work pretty well. I have found that since waxing my car with Meguiars NXT wax that the bugs remove much easier than with my old wax. Now I just wash and rub with a little pressure over the bugs and they are usually gone. I wax with NXT every 3-4 months.

 

It is lovebug season here in Florida. The TCH will not be driven in the daytime until October when they go away.

 

Go through a car wash when the cars been out in the rain for a bit. I have one touchless car wash nearby who's cheapest wash is only 5 bucks. High pressure wash takes them off when the bugs are already wet from the rain. Tar's another story and won't work of course.

And there's never a line....

Only an occasional look....

 

Won't work for love bugs.

 

You poor, poor people. My heart goes out to you...bug cleaning ain't no fun.

Arizona...hot like a blowtorch, but no BUGS!

Certainly we have bugs, but you can literally go months here without washing your car, provided you don't have to travel on a dirt driveway, etc. After an extended period of driving I'll only have a few gnats imbedded on my bumper and windshield.

I guess that's our tradeoff...in the desert areas we don't really have the lushness that you other kids have, but the lack of bugs is A-OK with me.
