Lovebugs! They are awful!!

[EMT/SRT]

Anyone else having a lovebug problem other than northwest florida? Well we are and it is bad. They are swarming everywhere. Anyway, the reason I mentioned it is b/c if you are, I found a bug protection spray. It is made by Rain-X. It works great! I used it on our ambulance today. You spray it on a clean and dry vehicle and let it dry before driving. Man, when I went to wash them off, they came off so easy! Just thought I would share to try to prevent bug scarring on our Dodge's. I'll post some pics later!

also, you can use a dryer sheet to remove them as well. just wet it and wash them off

 

[EMT/SRT]

Yes, thank you, that does work well too!

sorry for the ho'ing EMT/SRT...definately post up a review of the product that you used...lovebugs suck

 

[EMT/SRT]

no prob. that's what threads are for! I'm just driving mine at least as possible until the little SOB's are gone!

i am a native, been dealing with these ba$tard$ a long time...and riding in the truck is much better than riding the bike during lovebug season, which i had to do for many years

 

[eddie102870]

bastards are back here too. will try the dryer sheet deal. cant seem to remember it when it's time to wash.

Hey Mutt----is it hard getting them off your teeth when riding a bike LOL those little bastards suck ---think I'll try the dryer sheet and the rain-x----anyone making a bra for our trucks yet?

Steve Holden has a solution...pm him about getting some clear acrylic that many of us are going to use to protect our rear quarter panels from shredded rubber...a couple of feet could be used to protect painted areas on the front of your trucks.

Me too... I know my wife wonders why a couple of times during the year I say 'lets take your car'

 

[EMT/SRT]

my wife couldn't figure out why I wanted to pull the wave runner to the lake this weekend with he truck. until we got out she saw the front of her truck.
