    We took a trip last weekend and the love bugs found us :(. Upon our arrival at the hotel I cleaned them off with Adam's Waterless Car Wash and the WCW towel. It didn't look great, but the 'evil' bugs (the acid in their bodies will eat through the clearcoat if left for too long) were gone. Luckily on the trip home we hit rain twice and that cut down on the number of bugs we met.
    Today was the first chance I had to clean the car again and decided to try a different routine to remove the few love bugs that were on the car.

    Our heros - Adam's Trim & Lug Nut Brush and Adam's Car Wash Shampoo pre-mixed in foaming sprayer

    I pretreated the bugs, then washed the wheels. Next I hosed off the car and used a strong stream on the bugs. Then refoamed the bugs:

    After letting it set for a few minutes I attacked with the brush

    And after some minimal brushing they have been vanquished!

    All hail the conquering heros!

    This method worked well and did not take long. By using Adam's pH neutral car wash, the Machine Super Wax is still there to protect the paint.
