Same happened to us on the way to and from Ft. Myers Beach for the weekend. Those bastards suck! My wife was pissed, but she helped me clean it, only took about 10 minutes at the car wash and an hour at home. Nylon stockings around the wash mit work awesome and didn't scratch the paint.

I hate lovebugs with a passion. Is there anyway to get old bugs off. I never relized till now how much they suck and just started to wash them off whenever they get on the car but there is "bug damage" from a while ago. Is there anyway to get those off?

We spray off what we can with the hose first, then spray on some Orange Blast, let it sit for about five minutes and start scrubbing with a wash mit inside a pair of nylons. This works great for us, also we make sure to wax the front end and mirrors after every wash. Also RainX helps a lot on the windshield.

Well we probably took the same route, we went down HWY 27 and they sucked the entire way! Ended up stopping in Labelle to wash it.
