For the bugs, more than two coats of wax will make the difference.

There are at least ten of Zaino and the Roush and everything comes off straight away with no rubbing and a spritz of detail spray. Zaino has repalled eggs, bugs, tar, tree sap, bird droppings and cigarettes from my paint with no damage.

Do a search in the Performance White and Mineral Grey;- by Color Forum - I posted pics. of my cars at show and you can see the results from Zaino. In the Mineral Grey car and in the White car, you can see everything reflected in them.

The effect is magnafied with black or bright color metallics.

Notwithstanding the protection from Zaino mentioned earlier. In a redfire car I once owned, a dude at a street show dared to put out a cigarette on her hood and there was no damage at all. Zaino polish goes on and wipes off easy; and is simple to use.

Any advice on keeping the windshield clean? Other than a normal washing, it's pretty much impossible to get the bugs off, especially when your on a road trip.

Although best started when the car is new, I apply Zaino to all the glass on my car. Best done in low humidity and sun. Clean it only with the detail spray. Ammonias in many glass cleaners tend to pit the glass over time. Bugs and other sticky stuff comes off easily and it acts almost like rain-x in the rain.

use wet dryer Sheets

Wet the affected area, then soak a drier sheet. Gently rub back and forth on the affected areas while keeping both the surface of the car and drier sheet wet. Works extreamly well with little effort. The bugs will be gone before you know it!

Thanks for the tip. Same idea as in removing the soap grime from shower tile, but the Dryer Sheet remains dry.
