PAM???
#1
I am driving home for winter break and its 1800 miles of bugs begging to attach themselves to my car. My question revolvs around what I read in Maxim this month. They say that if you spray PAM on your hood the bugs will wash right off. Now I bet that is true, but is there any harm that can be done to the paint? I will probably wax the hood liberally before I leave anyway, but will this work? or is it not worth the side effects? Thanks.

I would say it'll work but it might be a messy job. kinda like now RainX makes the windows slick and the bugs don't really stick to the windshield with a fresh Coat of RainX, would think anything greesy would be the same way, but I can tell U if U have a dark color car U can tell greese on the car just like when U put wet tire on the car and it sprays all over the place b/c of wind and like a day later U get little spots on the car..would think Pam would be the same way but worse.

When you say driving home [for winter break], I assume you mean from college.. Before you leave, find a chem professor, and ask them.. They are prolly much more qualified to answer that question than anyone else here...
When I have a prob. with bugs, all I do is wet the car (with a hose), until they get soft... then I use a soapy sponge (a REALLY SOFT SPONGE GUYS), to gently wash them off...
