Front grill and nose marks?

[Razzaa]

What does everyone use for bugs and all the other little things that hit the front? I have been washing the bugs off with Maguires quick detailing spray but I get annoyed with the little marks in the paint I am finding. Don't want to use a bra. How do u guys maintain the front?

I maintain the front by getting rid of the bugs ASAP!

Bugs are acidic and when left to sit on the paint, they will cause etching which sometimes, can't be fixed by "buffing it out."

I keep the front clean by putting layer over layer of a good quality wax on the front of my truck and when I go on a trip and come back, I simply spray them off with a hose.

Dealing with bugs is a two step process, removal and prevention.

For removal, our Waterless Wash works great to remove stubborn bug guts. It actually will emulsify the bugs and soften them, making for safe removal from the surface without scrathcing. If you have some areas that still don't want to come off, then clay bar would be your next resort. Lastly would be polishing the area. If the Waterless Wash and Clay Bar still leave behind some remnants, you'll likely need to machine polish them as they have etched into the clear coat.

Once you have them removed, then it's time to protect the surface to make future removal easier and more effective. You need to create a "sacrificial barrier" between your clear coat and the environment. You can go with either a high quality wax or a synthetic sealant. For bug defense, I'd recommend a sealant all day long.

Sealants provide the strongest and best protection. A product like our Quick Sealant is very easy to use and you'll get months of protection out of it.

If I take mine out and get bugs on it, I hit it with Adams Waterless Wash. Let it sit 30 seconds and soak, hit it again and they wipe right off. Of course, I use Adams Quick Sealant which is a truly remarkable product. Longevity like I've NEVER seen in a LSP, especially for one SO easy to apply!

Using the Adams waterless wash towels all but eliminates the risk of imparting micro scratches, and letting it soak allows the bugs to soften which lessens the chance of scratches.

How does that 3M spray stuff work that I have seen the commercial for? The one that you spray on from a can and it leaves a clear "bra" on it. For the high traffic areas such as the front of the hood and bumper and behind the wheels etc? And what is this Adams sealant you're talking about? Is it like a wax? Or like the spray I see on TV?

Our Quick Sealant is a synthetic polymer sealant in aerosol form.

We formulated it for maximum longevity, 6+ months is very typical with many experiencing longer life than that. Once applied, you can top it with a glaze or a wax to amp up the shine and add even more protection.

It's very different than any "as seen on TV" products...ours actually works.

The 3M stuff is a clear spray on bra. I've heard mixed reviews on it.

Adams Quick Sealant is AMAZING stuff but it doesn't protect against rock chips.
