    What`s up with these black bugs that are stuck to eachother? Easily the toughest to remove bug i have ever seen on paint. They`re on your paint like glue. I`m gonna have to charge a premium just for bug removal lol.

    That`s crazy zoom. My vehicles are very well protected, and these things seemed to etch themselves into my paint instantly. On the front of my hood I damn near had to wetsand them off.

    I think that these bugs are worst in the country, I`m always looking at my car after a drive for them, because they will start eating away your finish so bad and it`s pure hell to remove. They have very strong acids or whatever it`s call (bug juice) that its start`s going thru the CC then the paint before you know it. I always had some cleaner or QD with a MF with me all the time and i think the season has started again for them...........Angelo.....:usa

    Arenner, well if I can help you in any way I`m always excited about interested people hanging out and polishing paint. Trouble is none of my friends in VA really cared about car care, let me know if you would like me to look over your personal vehicle and tell you (and show you) what i think.

    That would be awesome, I would really appreciate it! I am getting ready to use my Ultima pack I bought and I need some advice on polishing beforehand. I have minor swirls.

    We have 2 distinct love bug seasons in the Sunshine State. Spring and early fall but other than those times they are nonexistent (there`s some reconciliation!). As Angelo has mentioned they are the single most wicked thing I have ever experienced. As most of us do, I keep a quick detail kit in my trunk and get them off INSTANTLY. If you don`t you`ll be sorry.

    I guess I would prefer to just be called Brian if anyone cares to remember.
