re: As love bug season fast approaches, what’s your method to dealing with the coating

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.
