Main reason I started this thread is becaue the bugs have started to get bad. Does anyone use a product on the windshield/front end/grill/mirrors that help keep the bugs from sticking? And tricks for getting them off?
I have a big 2500 pickup that is like driving a wall which catches everything. |

This. A good wax and clay bar job will keep your paint silky smooth and make it easier to wash. I basically just need a hose and sponge to wash my truck.

No but my driveway is under a huge old oak tree and it drips sap on my car.
We don't have basements, so my garage is full of stuff. |

That is NOT an option. Don't make assumptions. I get rid of stuff when it gets too full or put it in my attic, unless it's something the heat will wreck. |

I always use rain-x on my glass.
I keep the rest of the car sealed and waxed, and in between waxings I use detailer spray. The bugs come off quite easily, usually with just water. I used to use Meguiar's Gold Class detailer, but I've moved on to this stuff, which is freaking awesome (and cheaper too): Aero WashWax All https://www.amazon.com/Waterless-Air...o+wash+wax+all Posted via Mobile Device |

I had a friend that used brake and carb cleaner on his wheels.
