The picture of his M3's condition got stuck in my head. No amount of detailing could get rid of the fused bugs. So he had sections of his M3 front tip sandblasted and repainted.

I wouldn't want to deal with something similar and would rather do anything to prevent such from happening. I would rather have any bugs stuck, easily removed by washing.
i recommend all to clean the bumper before u drop off the car. just like my above post, the car will not be washed before it gets to our shore. leaving the bug remains on the paint for that long is just asking trouble. clean it before u drop it off!

i'm considering bringing a small roll of trac wrap (http://www.tracwrap.com/) with me this time. it acts like a temporary clear bra so it protects the frontal area nicely. at least i don't have to clean the bumper every night.
