    I went to the Desert (Superstition) and i came back and theres bugs every freaking where... all over my truck. smooshed and smeared.. =/ this has happened 5 times now... =/ then i power washed them off and cleaned the front.

    Question 1. Do bugs like white?

    Question 2. What can prevent the bugs from getting my truck. Front and the windshield?

    Bugs do suck major ass! There are some pretty good products for motorcycles made specifically for bugs removal.

    Every single time I wash my truck I find bird poo on it the next day. It's extremely annoying. For the bugs, Its just part of freeway driving.

    Make sure there isn't a blinking key inside of a truck that is lit up. I heard that attracts bugs.

    I've been having the same problem. Try and get into the draft of the vehicle in front of you and the bugs will flow right over your truck. no kidding.
