Beemer Posted July 17, 2012 Share Posted July 17, 2012 Went for a drive today. Lovely summer day. Back country Texas roads. Grasshopper season. AKA: BUG-ageddon. On a positive note - if any of you are going for a drive tomorrow feel free. I'm pretty sure I got them all. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

0 Beemer Posted July 17, 2012 Author Share Posted July 17, 2012 Yup. The whole Adam's arsenal. I'm soaking it with some WW right now and will hose it off soon. I'll get up early tomorrow and do a full wash. Too hot now.... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
0 Blazer15 Posted July 17, 2012 Share Posted July 17, 2012 Lol. That's similar to our love bug season, except they blend a little better than that. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

0 Beemer Posted July 17, 2012 Author Share Posted July 17, 2012 5 minute WW soak did the trick. Rinse w/ water from the hose. 99% gone. No rubbing whatsoever. Again - I'll wash in the morning. The sVRT treated grill rinsed off even easier than the paint. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
0 PirateGoat Posted July 18, 2012 Share Posted July 18, 2012 Waterless soak usually does the trick especially with sealant on the car. Good job. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

0 Beemer Posted July 18, 2012 Author Share Posted July 18, 2012 Note to self..............stay out of Texas! Holy crap that's a lot of bugs! If you're on the interstate they're not that bad because the cars in front of you already cleaned them off. On back roads with little traffic, however, you can actually see them crawling on the pavement at 70 MPH. They tend to hop up just in time to hit the front bumper and grill. Very few hit the windshield. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
