Obviously wash and wax, but is there any specific wax, method, or routine you find works best that you’d like to share. I loathe these dudes.

Wash it and get the ceramic spray wax. Takes less than <1min to apply and remove depending on the product.

Every other time after you wash reapply on the front bumper and hood during bug hatches after you finish removing anything that manages to stick.

The key is not to let them sit on your car for two weeks baking into the paint and leaving residue.

Glad we live north of those disgusting frickers.
It's uncouth.

The bugs beat me a long time ago. I wish I could keep perfect paint but it’s one of those things I had to let go of.

Live with it and use dryer sheets to EASILY clean them off

Ps. Wash off afterwards, hasn't ever damaged any of my cars but best to be safe
