    Power wash and then clay bar.

    If clay bar doesn't work find the 3M Bug & Tar Remover. It comes in an aerosol can and it's available at Auto Zone. This stuff is amazing at removing bugs and road goo like grease and hydraulic oil that sometimes squirts off of semi's.

    call me but you can use Mayonnaise. Let the bugs soak in the oils, and rinse it off.

    I bought that 3M stuff the last time I went to Florida and it worked like magic.

    I ONLY recommand this tip if you use Zaino but the next time you go on a road trip here's a little trick that will save you a lot of scrubbing. Put on a nice coat of Zaino Z-5 or Z-2 on the bumper, grille and mirror caps and leave it on. When you get to your destination just hose off the bugs and wipe the wax off. Nothing will stick to the Zaino

    you've got that right!

    when i used Liquid glass every month or so i'd have to spend forever just getting all the bugs off. After the switch to zaino a bug that doesn't come off with just washing the truck is rare. Even then some Z6 sprayed on it and let sit a minute takes it right off


    This is what you need to get before your next trip....
    The guy should be getting a 03 HD in a week or so to get the new templates cut for the 03 valance. i'll post when they are availible
