Well,It's Love Bug season again here in South Louisianna.What's the best retardent to keep them from sticking to badly?
I normally just wash the front end after my Sunday Drive because if left on they will etch the paint..

I'm in love-bug country also. I use a quick detailler such as Mequirer's or Turtle Wax after I wash the bugs off. Applying the quick wax makes the bugs come off a lot easier.

I've been using Zaino on my car since I bought it in '03. I've found that all I have to do after a day drive is to hose the bugs off. They do not stick to this stuff. I also use the Zaino Z-5 or Z-2 on my windshield. Same results.

Central La., just below Alexandria. The love bugs are out in force over here.

Howdy neighbors!

The love bugs are out in full force here too. Luckily my Vette is so dirty right now they're not able to stick to the finish.

Going in for an oil change and check up this afternoon and then a detail if possible.
