Unhappy Clean bumper and grill

Hello:

I take a lot of trips. In hot weather--the plastic bumper and (fake) plastic chrome grill take a beating esp. from crushed bugs.

Any way to do something to the bumper/grill before a trip to make it easier to clean afterwards---bugs, etc.?

Would a coating of vasiline or wd-40 or heavy wax help? it seems that if you do nothing---the mess may never come clean---it gets burned on!

anyone have a quick tip?? If not---well---I guess I will live with it!

thx and peace

"So slick, bugs can't stick!"


This is all I use on my cars. Excellent product. Corrosion-X's claim to fame is primarily products for avaition (aircraft). Rejex is an automotive version of their aerospace protectant. Its also "body shop friendly"... if you ever need a paint job, its not an obstacle to the prep process.

Have used Turtle Wax's bug and tar remover. As I recall, however, the main ingrediant is kerosene. diesel fuel should work as well; however it is stinky.
