Love Bugs !!

Niceville Bill · 05-13-2009, 10:35 AM

Was driving the Hemi home two days ago & to my amazement the "dang" love bugs are hooked up & smashing into widshields.. I thought this is too early in the season. I'm glad the SSR was in the garage.. What has everyone come up with to get them off & not hurt the paint?

Get a Bounce dryer sheet, add some water and squish it till it's foamy, it'll take them right off and not hurt the paint.

No offense to Doophus but purple penelope turned me onto Pig Snot. Send a PM to Marty, he can send some to ya at a good price. It really does a good job, use before to prevent the sticky little buggers from sticking and after to get it cleaned off if there are some stuck.

No, it really works! And doesn't smell near as bad as Bug & Tar remover.

It works and I couldn't believe it either

I think it was vettegirl that gave me the tip in MV when my

was covered with bugs from the trip.

Don't use anything else but

Yeah, me too...Marty gave me a can when I helped install his radiator support and turn signal mirrors...guess he felt he had to pay me.

But the pig snot works great, but I'm gonna give the dryer sheet a try too...when needed.

Going to try the Pig Snot too, the lovebugs are awful here already, especially out by the strawberry farms.

Works like a charm.

I getthe really cheap ones at the dollar store. They work just as well. I keep a box in every vehicle.

You can always count on good advice on this forum. I will try both, bought some pig snot in Maggie have the other at home. I will not leave Florida but perhaps I can lure the bug to California.

I told Bill about Pig Snot at lunch today....when I picked him up off the floor from laughing he thought I was making this up. I never make things up

Thanx Anne for the reinforcement.....now how's that Bill

Pig Snot Detail Products : Pig Snot Ladies Shirt

Now I gotta admit I had never heard of Pig Snot so had to check it out. I was trying to figure out how to get it before the pig slurped his nose. I not only saw the product but amazingly also found a very inexpensive method for breast augmentation!

mike in orlando · 05-13-2009, 03:20 PM

I bought 2 bottles of PigSnot from "Marty" in MV, after he started cleaning by dirty "R" w/o water. And almost nobugs stuck on the way back to FL - Crazy Stuff, but It works, Your finish is smoothier after use too, If you don't like the name- take the label off (nobody will know) that's my $.02

now, do I get a T-Shirt Marty?
