    Love bug prep

    Hi I am spending my first year I orlando Fl and was wondering what type of prep I should do since love bug season is around the corner.

    What coating,sealant wax etc should I be using to help protect my daily driver against these particular critters??

    Collinite will be the easiest and least expensive protection against those bugs,during the bug season apply every time you wash the car for added reassurance .

    Apply only to mirrors and front bumper,I didn't mean re wax the whole car every time you wash it just re apply to the front and mirrors.

    Are you referring to the insulator or the paste.
    Which works better or are they equal.

    I have to look I just might have the insulator in the garage.

    pretty much all the same,as far as durability.

    my best advice is to get them off nightly. It is a pain. I have a company car I don't care about and I left them on for weeks and you could tell where it ate the clearcoat.

    With the proper protection such as collinite without any washing for a week ,you will be surprised that there guts don't penetrate.I had a charger that only applied to mirrors and bumper ,left them on for 3 weeks just didn't care for the car and didn't have any etchings.The second year of ownership,I coated the mirrors and the whole front of the car was able to get a month with no etchings.
