Bug Removal from Paint in Jacksonville
Removal of bug and lovebug residue before it etches the finish.
Anyone who drives I-95 or the Buckman during lovebug season knows the problem. Bug remains are acidic, and when they bake onto a hot bumper in Florida sun they begin etching clear coat within days.
Getting them off quickly and safely is far cheaper than correcting the etching later.
Softening before scrubbing
Scrubbing dried bugs off is how paint gets scratched. A dwell product and a warm damp compress soften the residue so it releases with minimal pressure.
Where they concentrate
Front bumper, grille, hood leading edge, mirror faces, windshield and the front edge of the roof on taller vehicles. Motorcycle and truck front ends need extra attention.
Preventing the next round
A slick sealant or coating on the front end makes bug residue release much more easily. It does not stop the bugs, but it turns a scrubbing job into a rinse.
What this includes
- Dwell and soften rather than scrub dry residue
- Bumper, grille, mirrors and glass covered
- Etching assessed and reported honestly
- Protection recommended for the front end
- Fast turnaround during lovebug season
