Looks sick! Good luck with the clear. I'm sure you'll be able to get it out as long as you put a generous amount of clear on it. Post up finished pics when you can.

Shoulda painted it black , that way the bugs show up less.
If you're careful with a razor you can scrape part of the raised spots off first before sanding. Even garages can get bugs in occasionally, might not be as bad as you think.
