So with all the lovebugs currently smashing into cars here in Fl I have been removing them from my car 2x a day. I decided since I had time tonight to wash the car and get all them off completely. Also I wanted to put another coat of wax on the front just to make sure that I am completely protected from clear coat damage. It was getting dark when I finished but I did the best I could with my gfs crappy camera. Questions and comments are always welcome.



Process:

Wash: Duragloss #901 w/ foam gun and Edge Schmitt

Bugs: Poorboys bug squash 3:1 and Pinnacle scrub sponge

Tires: Wesleys bleche-white 3:1 and stiff bristle brush. Dressed with Armor All tire foam and Extreme gel (not for photos)

Rims: were recently sealed so just a brush and soap

Wheel wells: WBW and Armor All tire foam

Glass: Megs glass cleaner 10:1 and waffle weave glass towel

Wax: Chemical Guys Petes '53 and Megs #26 on front end

Minor swirls correction on front end with Hitachi rotary and Optimum Poli-Seal on blue Edge pad



Just for fun a CG '53 beading shot after 2 weeks

Thanks guys. I got my bucket from Home Depot, all my spray bottles came from there too.



I used a different wax on the front of the car b/c I've been using PBBS to take off the love bugs and I believe that it strips the LSP in the process. So I just wanted to do the front in something less expensive so when I remove it I'm not putting a $40 wax back on, just to remove it the next day.



When love bug season is over I will strip the front and reapply Petes '53.
