    I may get one as well.

    The bug splats in and on the front spoiler are still a killer, though.

    I really don’t dread cleaning the car now with the foam cannon because it so quick and easy. Wet car, foam car, clean car with microfiber mitt, rinse car, dry car.

    Soon the truck should be almost as easy to wash as the car. I'm currently in the middle of clay bar, Adams Polishes 3 step paint correction, and then I'm going to use the Adam's Polishes DIY ceramic coating on it.

    I find the size is the problem, not the dirt on the Ram.

    She is a big girl. :)


    Mine is getting brakes (all 4), an alignment and inspection sticker today.

    Not easy to find, but if you can find it Zep® Heavy Duty Bug Remover* works absolutely fantastically. Spray it on the bugs let sit for about 2 minutes then when your presoaking your car with the power washer before the foam cannon they spray right off :)

    Removing the majority of them is not that bad, I use turtle wax bug and tar remover.

    it's all the cracks and crevices (i.e. the foglights) that the bugs get pushed into that is my problem.
