    Default Bugs...

    Man, I love this time of year but I washed my car on the way home at about 5pm and when I got home at 8pm it was COVERED.

    I keep some of that spray on wax on the front end and the mirrors and it helps to keep the dead critters from sticking...

    Anyone else have some tricks?

    You made that up...

    I may order some and try the clay bar deal. I don't know if the clay bar and all that stuff will make it look any better because I have the factory GM orange peel

    No I did not. Zaino car polish and detail spray. Spay some Z6 on after a ride and bugs just wipe off the Zaino polish. It's amazing stuff, expensive but amazing.

    I use Z2, Z5, Z6 and Z8 plus the Zaino car wash and interior care products.

    A typical day cleaning the car is a Zaino wash followed by Z6, then Z2, Z6,Z2,Z6,Z2,Z8. Next wash day it will be Z5, instead of Z2.

    I do this about once a month. In between it's wash and Z8.

    Thanks! I just ordered some z2 and z6. I'll let you know how it turns out.

    I drive it too much to get all crazy clean on it (About 900 miles this week so far...) but it just looks so nice when it's clean

    Rims are a total PITA to clean. If I don't clean the inside of the rim really good it looks worse than when they're dirty

    Plus it has snazzy calipers that look like crap when they're nasty...

    I tried Zaino once and didn't understand its cult like devotion ... similar to the V1 in that respect I guess. I just don't get it and never will I suppose.

    Bug guts?
    Living out in the country, i gave up keeping my Jeep 'anal' clean of bug guts. If it gets really bad, i just hose it down with a pressure washer on low PSI setting mixed with a little water soluble car wax, any traces of bugs that remain... remain til the first hard freeze in the Fall. Only thing i keep really clean are the windows and side mirrors.

    Besides those big ol dragon flies make excellent hood ornaments!
