When Bugs Attack!

Oh the humanity! I washed the car last weekend, then put my car cover on it. I have been gone since early Friday morning. We had an insane rain/storm while I was gone. When I was driving in I saw a crane submerged in a pond. Well, I'm sure it wasn't a pond when he parked his crane there, but you get my point. (The only thing you could see was the top of the cab and the crane itself sticking out. ) I need to go take pics. Anyway, it must have blown like crazy, because when I removed cover to do some driving, it was covered in dust. I got back this evening, and used a California Duster, then I QDed it. Well there are a LOT of bugs...big ones too...on the front end. Can I use my Zaino QD to remove them. Of course, it's dark out now, so it's too late to do anything tonight anyway. I'm pretty good about keeping my windshield clean, but how long is too long to leave bugs on the front end of the car? Can I wait until this coming weekend to give it a good wash? It has a good coat of Zaino, so they should come right off when I do a full (real) wash.

Be happy that you do not have "Love Bug Season", twice a year as we do in South Florida.

Then you know what a problem bugs can really be.
