lol that sucks

ewwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwww wwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwww

OHHHHHHHHHHH my god. Thats going to be fun to clean.

How does it feel to have hundreds of dead bodies stuck to the front of your car? Wait, that big one is still alive! :rofl2:

Here's a tip I picked up recently over on the (Super Anal) Corvette forum....

Wet a used Bounce (or equivalent) dryer sheet and use it to remove bugs. Sounds a little goofy, but I guarantee once you try it you'll be rooting through your wife's laundry room trash can for these sheets...

You've got a pretty heavy infestation there for which a Belt sander may be more appropriate, but for every day use, try the dryer sheets. you'll be amazed!

Thats a nice trick :D!Im more anal than the corvette forum I think hahahahhahahaha

I've never heard of that before. I'll go give it a shot and report back. I usually take a mid size towel, wet it, wring it out and microwave it until it's steaming, then I throw it on the front of the car and let it sit and then wipe the bugs off.

+Rep for the tip! :tiphat:

Lol Thats crazy! Does that happen often? Must be a pain...

Bounce This Along!
The US Postal service sent out a message to all letter carriers to put a sheet of Bounce in their uniform pockets to keep yellow-jackets away.
Use them all the time when playing baseball and soccer. I use it when I am working outside. It really works. The insects just veer around you.

All this time you've just been putting Bounce in the dryer!
1. It will chase ants away when you lay a sheet near them. It also repels mice.

2. Spread sheets around foundation areas, or in trailers, or cars that are sitting and it keeps mice from entering your vehicle.


3. It takes the odor out of books and photo albums that don't get opened too often.


4. It repels mosquitoes. Tie a sheet of Bounce through a belt loop when outdoors during mosquito season.


5. Eliminate static electricity from your television (or computer) screen.

6. Since Bounce is designed to help eli minate static cling, wipe your television screen with a used sheet of Bounce to keep dust from resettling.

7. Dissolve soap scum from shower doors. Clean with a sheet of Bounce.

8. To freshen the air in your home - Place an individual sheet of Bounce in a drawer or hang in the closet.

9. Put Bounce sheet in vacuum cleaner.

10. Prevent thread from tangling. Run a threaded needle through a sheet of Bounce before beginning to sew.

11. Prevent musty suitcases. Place an individual sheet of Bounce inside empty luggage before storing.

12. To freshen the air in your car - Place a sheet of Bounce under the front seat.

13. Clean bak ed-on foods from a cooking pan. Put a sheet in a pan, fill with water, let sit overnight, and sponge clean. The anti-static agent apparently weakens the bond between the food and the pan.

14. Eliminate odors in wastebaskets. Place a sheet of Bounce at the bottom of the wastebasket.

15. Collect cat hair. Rubbing the area with a sheet of Bounce will magnetically attract all the lose hairs.

16. Eliminate static electricity from Venetian blinds. Wipe the blinds with a sheet of Bounce to prevent dust from resettling.

17. Wipe up sawdust from drilling or sand papering. A used sheet of Bounce will collect sawdust like a tack c loth.

18. Eliminate odors in dirty laundry. Place an individual sheet of Bounce at the bottom of a laundry bag or hamper

19. Deodorize shoes or sneakers. Place a sheet of Bounce in your shoes or sneakers overnight.

20. Golfers put a Bounce sheet in their back pocket to keep the bees away.

21. Put a Bounce sheet in your sleeping bag and tent before folding and storing them. It will keep them smelling fresh.


22. Wet a Bounce sheet, hose down your car, and wipe lovebugs off easily with the wet Bounce.

^^Nice info! Should these be used or new sheets?

Okay I just went out and tried a used Bounce sheet. It worked really well! I just did one area so you can see the difference, took about 30 seconds.

nice!

Yikes -- you should wash the dirt off before wiping down with the Bounce sheet. That dirt will scratch wiping it dry.

Ya, better go over that with wax !!! Like MOthers Gold to restore the essential oils in your clear :):stirthepot:

:tup:

I have a clear bra on there so no worries.

Tin the bug slayer!

I've heard that Bounce sheets are good for wiping down wheels too. Like after they're already clean, that is. Supposedly, it makes it a lot harder for brake dust to stick. I've never tried it though.

Have we found the cure-all with Bounce? I heard it cures the swine flu. The pigs don't like things that smell so clean. By the way, like someone said before, clean off the dirt before taking bugs off. (Luckily you have a "bra" on.)

WOWZERZZ WHERE THE FU*K DO U GUYS DRIVE?? lol pretty extreme... hopefully they dont get caught in the intake

We get lake fly hatches here in Wisconsin that are the same or worse. I always wonder where they go in my radiator. Hopefully my hosing off of the radiator helps somewhat. We get lots-o-bugs.

The Willamette Valley Oregon. I picked almost all those bugs up on an 80 mile round trip drive in the evening/night a few days ago. They seem to die off quite a bit as summer goes on.

Okay she's all clean again!

:tiphat:Looks good!

omg........i gotta find the pic of a cat or something that was stuck in the lower grille....lol

Hey Pushing Tin, What grit sand paper do you plan on using?:rolleyes:

I don't think I've ever seen such a bad bug infestation. And I'm gonna have to get some more Bounce, looks like it'll come in handy.

~Tin's on the run. He killed all of this thing's babies and now she wants his head on a platter. ;)

Hmm, i may put a couple of bounce sheets in my car...I like the smell...cheaper than air freshners...

Thats a ghetto freshner.

i say u clean it with bread then eat it jaja kinda nasty just a lil maybe? jaja jk

DAMN! (That'll take 2 sheets!!)

That may take a little elbow grease.

What the hell is that?

^ Dinner.

ewwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwww! it's not even fully cooked yet!
