Bug Guards

Well, after a year and a half od detailing, I finally got a different idea concerning the bug guard on my truck.

Until now, I`ve ben using Meguiar`s PlastX, which I very much like and does a great job. But I thought, hey why don`t I try a couple coats of sealant on this and see how that does. So I`ve just applied two coats of sealant to it.

So then I thought I`d ask what everyone else uses on their bug guards, question of course being primarily directed at those that have them, but if you don`t, ideas are of course stil most welcome.

Oh, and concerning what you`ve tried, how has it worked for you?

I have a product by Pro called Bug Guard. It`s a gel. You apply it to the paint and it allows the bugs to wash easier, saving the paint from etching from their guts.

Where can you buy it?

I am taking this to mean what do you use to polish the plastic bug guard/deflector attached to the front of the hood. So.....I use Poorboy`s SSR1, then hit it with whatever sealant I am using at the time. Keeps it looking good as new.

Yeah I realize that but the Bug Guard product can help out quite a bit eliminating stuck on splatter and more importnatly guarding against etching. prowax.com

What`s a bug guard? we don`t have many of those here in CA :shift

I`ve been using Novus #2 for ligt scratches and removing haze and acid spots, then the #1 to polish, I finish up with a sealant x 2 for protection.

That`s a bug guard.

I haven`t put anything on mine yet. It hasn`t seemed to need it. I haven`t hit too many bugs with it so far. The ones I have hit scrubbed off with the back of my wash mit easy enough and I didn`t have any damage. I`m glad to know that I can polish it though. It is getting a bit swirly and I didn`t know if polishing it would remove some protective coating or anything.
