  • bug problems

    What's up guys? We are having a bit of a problem with bug "leftovers" eating through the paint. This is mainly dealing with new vehicles that have waterbase paint, older models on the lot do fine. When we recieve new vehicles off a carrier we wash and then apply 21. They don't get washed as often as they should, but still washed enough to be called kosher. This problem can occur in a weeks time, sometimes less. Is there any other product we can apply after the 21 or instead of that would possibly hold up better. We are in Pa so we experience every season and weather possibility. Any suggestions would be great!

    Just to chime in...

    Anything strong or corrosive enough to etch and even eat into a modern clear coat paint is going to also be strong enough to etch or eat into any micron thin layer of any wax or paint sealant you apply.

    There just isn't a simple fix for problems like this as well as bird droppings

      If the bugs are that bad in your area, you may have to start recomending clar bras or something.
