Don't know how well it works, looks worth a try though, I'll give it a whirl if I find it. Looks to be a spray on gel, that washes off and takes the bugs with it.

yeah a bra will work til 15 years down the road you decide you think it's ugly, take it off and you have a distinct paint color differencefrom fading lol.....happened to my friends camaro[8D]
Nobody advised leaving the bra on for 15 years!
Not even for 15 days!

You keep it in the trunk and throw it on when you'll be on the highway. The new ones are pretty easy, with the permanent attachments.
Once you're back home wipe it down with a sponge and put it in the trunk.

You can go the Clear Bra route but I found that I can easily see the lines it leaves and don't like that at all. Plus for the cost of a good 3M installation I could get the front bumper repainted... twice!

yeah, 15 - 30 seconds of putting on protection for the front end is too much to ask.[:@]

Get back to the La-Z-Boy recliner and drink more beer!
