Maybe a white car was a mistake.

[Dragonfly]

Thought a white car might be cooler in the Bulgarian Sun, which may or may not be right. However there is another issue.......

 

[ShirLow]

Another reason we chose red. You could pretend it’s a custom polka dot paint job ?

Whack it through the car wash it'll be fine ?

No car wash near here

Get a ceramic coat and then just hose it off? Or change name to DragonflyKiller!

It was coated as part of the package from the dealer, somehow I think "just hose it off" won't be that simple.

Proper ceramic coat or a dealer generic "paint protection" product? Did mine with a ceramic coat and so far nothing sticks to it! Dealer protection stuff, in my experience, is pretty poor.
When it is clean then you need to stick some of these on your car door

 

[Dragonfly]

Yes it was dealer "paint protection", it was branded but can't remember the exact one, think there is a sticker in the car if I remember to look. Do you have a recommend ceramic coat to use? I'd be surprised if I find it over here but I can have a look, if not the car might be red by the time I get back to UK

Dealers often use GardX. From memory G2 Ceramic is suggested by ex detailer EVM on YouTube.

Just checked the order, G3 Paint Protection.

Moby needs his nose wiped too, although as my commute is 50% backroads he never stays clean for long

Bulgaria or was it Buglaria

 

[Eclectic]

Used to get that every Summer in the UK (South East) when I started driving many years ago. Don't see many bugs now, nothing like as "bad" - not a good reflection on the state of the environment

 

[Kithmo]

It looks like the bodywork is nearly as buggy as the car's software.
Before anybody gets upset.....

On the other hand my black car got to lovely 63 degrees once I parked in the sun last year

 

[DB Go Rex]

Since mine was delivered in late November, I haven't washed mine a single time.

Silver seems to hide the dirt well

Q:What's the last thing to go through a bugs mind when your car hits it?
A: It's arse.

 

[Terry2]

Mine is white and I get the same thing .. I got some car spay cleaner from Amazon and microfibre cloth and leave both along with a bottle of tap water in the boot for emergencies when I need it to look good and without dead insects all over the front. And for the occasional bird dropping’s …

Some detailers use a purpose made solution that when sprayed on the bug splat, it is left for a short while before washing, it will soften / help dissolve the bug splat before washing takes place.
There are a number of different companies who sell this product now.
As an example here is only one from Autoglym company.
They post a picture of its use on a white car door mirror which comes as no surprise really !.
