Late getting back, but yeah, that and then some. First trip cross country, hit big bugs at CO. state line. Whacked the heck out of windshield and nose. Udoit car wash sprayer had little effect on mess even after many quarters. Rt. 66 trip, old sections of cement covered with gravel (to cover potholes on discontinued road)behind farm vehicles did not help nose Living in Northeast where winter sand (read almost gravel) is thrown up by vehicle in front. Summer travel behind semi's, although much avoided. All these and others have meant rust spots and often nose painting. Hoping to cut back on that. We'll let you know what happens. I have heard often removal, cleaning and waxing help, but I would like to hear what others think. Will wax stick to a bra?
BTW, The Bus Depot bra went on pretty well. Didn't cover up to windshield wipers Eric, but did go around antenna.
