    Get 0000 steel wool and scrub everything off. Put a coat of wax on it. They'll glide right off.

    JFC, that millenial bullsh*t again, you realize milleninals are in their early 30's now, I've had every gen and I'm a millenial and I actually know how to fix my own shi*t and have built a few of these trucks spinning wrenches on weekends, as opposed to the majority here who buy their setups. I will say I agree alot of ridiculous owners here and posts, especially in the 3rd gen section but calling them all millenials is a pretty douchy and ignorant comment in and of itself. I'm willing to bet the majority don't fall into the millenial years at all.

    Down here in FL, it's love bugs. Good Lord how many of them I've splattered. And they literally fly around in swarms all day. Just washed the truck today. Let's see how long she lasts.

    At the beginning of my rides for the first 5 minutes, I feel like i have a connection to the few bugs that pile up on the windshield. After 15 minutes, there are WAYYY too many names to keep track of...

    Kudos to you for wrenching your own truck and knowing how to fix your sh!t on your own. I realize many millenials are into their 30s now. If you read my post carefully, I didn’t say they are all millenials. However, I would bet you money that most of the whiners that constantly complain about everything that isn’t perfect about their 3rd gen fit into that category. I didn’t specify that you are one of them and I didn’t say they are all douches. Call me what you want but I stand by my comments. :D

    Apply some Aquapel and the bugs are sooooooo easy to wipe off. It's seriously amazing how easy it is to wipe off bug guts, even after sitting in the sun. And it lasts up to a year. Sometimes more. It's awesome stuff.

    10,000 times better than rainX

    Nope. Aquapel is a glass sealant.
