On Monday/Tuesday/Friday of this summer, I drive from home to school.... its about a 36 mile drive. And I get alot of bugs on the front of my car... so I wash it Thursday. But I still cant get alot of the bug resin off.... even with the "Rain X:Bug Off"

I am about to leave for Louisiana from Tallahassee in 16 hours.And I am worried about driving at night and there being WAY TOO MANY BUGS on the road. I already washed the car and handed dried it. And I thought about putting the blue painters tape on it already, but my friend that works for nissan told me not to cause it would be too long of a time.

3 days? thats a long *** time!!! my trip will be from Wednesday night to Saturday morning. Do any of you guys recommend leaving it on there for this long?
