I live in Alabama, about 100 yards from the lake. Bugs are everywhere! I wash my car atleast three times a week. The only way to keep them off is to not drive.

Yeah, there is this old manual car wash in my town that only cost $1 for 4 minutes. If you hurry you can wash and rinse in that time. It usually take me about $1.50 per wash so it's not that bad.

i live in arizona and we have more bugs every year... thank God it's getting colder now.
(it was under 60 degrees this morning!)
i never run the wipers - grit and glass don't mix. i pound the Rain-x for the glass and the wax for the rest of the front end. i dust the car and clean the glass every day. bug acid is hell on paint - esp. black.
i like the clear bra idea, but it's approx. $450 for the whole front end.
you know what we need is some Bug-x. hhmmmm.

it's a sweet ride, but it's a barn door.

I bought it with the same expectations you have, so lets just hope it does work as a deflector too. This is what I have to say to bugs...











GET OUSTS THE WAY BEIOTCH!!!! I HAVE MY FRONT END MASK LOCKED AND READY
