It seems this time ever year i am enjoying spirited runs on twisty roads only to return and find a plethora of
unsightly random marks adorning the front bumper and splitter. Any one else experiencing this phenomena?
I use a product called BAAM. It was originally designed for the aviation industry. If you think car's bumpers attract bugs, you should see what an aircrafts leading wing edge looks like after a night flight. Apply it before the spirited drive and removal become easy.
After a long drive they are stuck like glue. With ceramic your telling me they just wipe off?
Much-much easier to remove than without the coating. All 3 recommendations I gave you will help a ton.
For washing, and removing, dwell time is the key. So, a foam cannon helps, but a spray bottle with about 75% water and 25% car soap works great. Just keep spritzing the front bumper with the soap/water solution till the bugs start to dissolve, they are mostly carbohydrates and a little protein, so very water soluble. Use the entire 32 ounce bottle.
I don't like using dedicated "Bug Removers" because they are too harsh, and remove your simple wax/sealant (probably not a nano ceramic coating) defeating the purpose of a quality coating, plus, they are expensive.
I have my car coated with Gyeon Can Coat and after every other wash use Gyeon Wet Coat as a final rinse. The bugs that are plastered to the front bumper mostly all come off during the initial spray of the car before washing. A good base and there are no issues.
