Default Alternative to a Bra

So I’m washing my box today and notice that my front bumper is caked with bug crap, and get this, it was after I washed it! This crap was on there good. I do a good bit of driving down the highway everyday and this is obviously where I get it from. I was wondering is their anything I can use besides a bra to keep my front end from being messed up from road debris and bugs? I hate bras and think they make a car look like ____, so anything would help.

Get some PAM or other non-stick cooking spray. These are merely veggie oils. I prefer the olive oil kind for some reason later explained...

Bugs won't stick. But do wash off the oil inside of a couple days or you know, oil becomes -gluey- (the oil actually dries into a sticky film in time)

The polyunsaturated oils, as oppossed to say, Crisco or lard, are really best because they also are easiest to soap off when done with the drive.


Olive oil is the best of all, imo, cos it's good for your health, too!

i dunk my bread in olive oil. So, oo is a natural to go along with a toaster car.

I was thinkin for my next road trip, to just put some saran wrap on the front, and when I get to my destination just pull it off and its clean. I dunno how it would hold up but sounds like a good idea ot me.
