Ok for all of you that do not know what a love bug is, here is a pic. (this is X rated)

This is a car that has taken out a few hundred lovers!

After doing what they do, they die in a not so preatty way on the fronts of all of us Florida drivers cars.

So to tackle it, we got out the safe scrub!

A bit of bug blocker to prevent this from happening again... this stuff is a must for our Fla friends. LOVE BUGS stink!

End result, the front end has a coat of Bug Blocker and it is ready for some more love bugs!!!

Gary they might not be bad over there yet, but we are in full swing over here.

Thanks for the warning Meghan. I'm sure they're going to get worse.

Oh my there are bad here in Brevard. I have been cleaning the front of my car 2x a day minimum to keep them off. I just took off abour 500 from a 50 mile trip up and down 95 for work. I find that PB bug squash and the Pinnacle scrub thing really do a good job on them. I've also been waxing the front of my car every day to try and delay them from etching my clear.

However, since my clear is so soft, I have found a few etchings on my mirrors even though the bugs couldn't have been there for more then 12 hours. Nothing that the rotary couldn't take care of in 10 sec.

What bug remover did you use Meghan?

I love the Pinnacle Safe Scrub, but you sure do got to let it sit in some water for awhile!
