    Bugs everywhere!

    Hey,
    Just started our Xmas roadtrip. We drove from Sydney to Mildura today and the bugs are out cos its damn hot over here.

    So bugs splattered everywhere and still two weeks to go. Any tips for getting the bloody things off each night please? I'm not going near any mechanical car washes thats for sure!

    Cheers

    You should go to the self serve car washes - they've got them in every small town around that area, I suspect for this exact reason. I know because we drove from Sydney to Adelaide last year around this same time and there were bugs, locusts in particular, everywhere - disgusting (I would wash the car about 5 times a day for the 2 days it took us to get there)...

    - On the lookout for another E30 325i Coupe, Manual (red would be nice)...

        The Duragloss Bug Remover has to be on my top least other than the 1Z Insekt Remover.

        Both are non acidic, both will not remove any wax/sealant from your car. Use is regularly when i do interstate driving etc.

          Wash them off before they dry out & set. If your staying at a hotel, use the waste paper basket as a bucket.

          Dad used to spray the front of his car with Mr.Sheen before travelling (just spray it on, don't bother wiping off).

          My old boss used to spray the front of his car with WD40 - but he also used to spray it on his arthritic knees so he was kind of addicted to the stuff.

            actually WD40 might not be a bad idea - get em off once, spray it on for the rest of the trip, and then worry about a proper detail / cleanse / isopropyl alcohol wipedown / re-seal when you get back to sydney...

            food for thought...
