----[Please read http://ercoupers.com/disclaimer.htm before following any advice in this forum.]----Admittedly, this is barely technical, but could be of use to many of us. It is now BUG season here in Florida. The lovebugs and a variety of other flying insects are everywhere. They cover automobile and truck bodies, radiators and windows. Airplanes , too are their targets, particularly when flying over grassy areas such as encountered on landing and takeoff . I'm sure that you who operate from turf fields have this problem in spades, and not only in Florida. Most of the dead bugs on your Coupe can be removed by washing with detergent and water immediately after flight. I use the small , nylon mesh enclosed scrub pads sold in auto parts stores. Unfortunately, they aren't 100 % effective since the nylon mesh is too open ,i.e., not close -weaved. They will remove some of the bugs, but not all. The remaining ones have solidified into their own corpses into epoxy-like blemishes which are very difficult to remove. Solution: Home Depot sells small SPOT-X No Scratch Scrubbing pads @ 97 cents each. They are white, very close -weave nylon or other synthetic material. They can be used on porcelain, stainless steel, windows and mirrors. They do NOT scratch, even when rubbed hard. I cut the pads in 4 pcs, apply a bit of MEGUALAR Cleaner/Polisher and rub on each individual dead bug. This removes the bug instantly, and there are no residual scratches - honest! I haven't tried them on plexiglass windows, and do not intend to. Maybe one of you has a scrap piece of it and can try the pads on it ?
