Love bugs effin' suck! I just washed, clay-barred, precleaned, and polished the SS on Monday. I went to Tampa today on a field trip with my daughter (to MOSI). When I got back to Lakeland, there are love bug splatters everywhere on the front and even some on the sides of the car! I hate these things... 
Just needed to vent.

FYI... I found more love bug splatters on my rear spoiler this evening...

I believe May and October are notorious for those things, I thought the cold winter might of killed them off. You need to keep on top of cleaning them off whenever you get to your destination. It's something we in Florida have to live with.

Anyone ever try Pam cooking spray before a highway drive through bug territory? I heard it works great, they just hose right off after the trip, but you have to hose them off right away after the trip.
I would think the Pam would be hard to get off though......

My step mom did this to my dad's 05 GTO. After the trip, the PAM was everywhere... And I dont think it helped very much with the bugs. If you really want to avoid it, blue tape your car. if not, strip the wax, buff, polish, put a GOOD wax on (3 or 4 coats), and carry some quik detailer or something with you each time you drive.
