FWIW, if anyone needs help removing dead bugs from 70 mph+ impacts, use old used dryer sheets and hot water. Abrasive enough to remove the bugs, won't scratch the paint.
But clearly you only passed through Lubbock...because we don't even bother to clean the guts off! At some point going 70+ on the wide open highway, the west Texas wind & dust just scrape them right off...along with all the wax and lacquer on your vehicle. Proud to be below 25 mph on two wheels
