I recall seeing it somewhere locally....cant' seem to find it. I'm really interested in trying it for long trips in the summer.

It's a spray on coating for the front bumper and edge of your hood. Very thick spray. Looks crappy. Bugs hit the coating not your paint. Spray on before long road trip. When you get where you're going, rinse off coating and bugs for a perfectly clean front end with no scrubbing.

So I used this Duplicolor stuff. I used the clean one instead of black before going on a cross country trip. Its not bad, it definetely does its job, but heres the problem. First off when you spray it and it dries, its not on your paint with any bond, you can litterally walk upto your front bumper and let your jeans rub the bumper like you leaning over to look at the engine and it pulls it off. Thats a problem. But regardless we made sure no one touched it and drove and it worked fine, then we went through massive rain storm and almost the entire coating was gone. However there were no bugs on my front end. However I still had another 1000mi to go, so thats the only problem. It doesnt stay on for sheet. Its almost like a real light wax like matterial so no bond to the paint what so ever, not even their 1week claim or their claim of it being dry enough to touch, you cant even touch it cause if you do you peel it off.
