What’s your product + technique for getting them off the front of your vehicle with as little effort as possible?

1. Ensure that your vehicle has a protective wax or sealer.
2. Wash and remove those bugs as quickly as you can from your vehicle.
3. A dryer sheet helps remove them. They also have a bug and tar remover, but if you use them, you will need to reapply a wax.
4. A clear shield definitely helps.

havent seen them in big swarms yet, but my windshield got peppered and yet i never saw any flying around.

they smell their own as well, so if you dont clean them off, you will often see them swarming all around your car if they are freshly splattered on it.

Pressure washer/dryer sheets. Fortunately for y’all I think I knocked out a good portion of the population going up 55 from LaPlace to ponchatoula, I’ve had rain come down lighter than those ducking bugs

I've been using ceramic wax like this with great results: LINK

The past couple seasons have been pretty good keeping them at bay. I don't drive much but I hate it when I venture to the south shore via I-55 and my truck is covered in them.

You and me both. I swear that stretch of highway is bad every year.

They were swarming my white shirt while I worked outside this afternoon. Possibly my least favorite insect.

I tried to outrun them but they finally caught up with me.
