Rural hilly PA, huh? Sounds familiar to me... then again, the state is large... East or west side?

I can relate to the rural hilly PA scene as well. I just returned last night from a 2-day Canada road trip and a few of the bugs I was hitting while driving at night were as big as small birds. It was a good thing I gave my Yaris a good coat of wax (Mother's paste) last week as the car wash (Meguiars) I used was totally useless against bugs guts.

Collinite may be old news, but in Texas its one of the best longest lasting wax's I have found for cars. Most OTC stuff last 4-6 weeks in Texas before its just completely gone.
But collinite buys you like 4 months, which is great in the Texas heat. Why not invest in a clear bra for the front of your car, and front bit of the hood, or whole hood since it is so small? You can leave the bugs on longer between wash's, and wont ever get to your paint. |

I use Z-Best Wax ... got it back at the Auto Show in NYC and loved it ever since. Takes off pretty much everything and compared to other waxes I have used in the past, it's a lot better. I think Clay Bar might be the only thing that beats it.
http://www.z-bestcarwax.com/ I only recommend the Wax though ... wasn't a fan of their detailer spray. I still use ICE for that.
