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. |

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. |

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.

Do you wash your car, but it still doesn't look quite like it did when it was new and you can't figure out what exactly it is?
You probably need to clean your wheelwells. That makes a BIG difference in how the car looks. Clean them out with soap and water, and then spray some tire shine up in there. They'll take on a new looking black sheen and it will majorly improve the look of your vehicle. Posted via Mobile Device |

Protip: Wax your wheels and keep them waxed and cleaned off with detailer. There is special wheel wax that stands up to the heat and road chemicals better than normal wax. If you keep them waxed, you can just wipe off the wheels with a microfiber cloth and a bit of detailer spray. Posted via Mobile Device |

Lastly, don't forget to clean inside the gas door. If you don't clean it, water will get in there and drip out dirty water, leaving little dirt streaks running down the side of the car. |
