PROTECTING CLEAR COAT FROM BUG DAMAGE
Bug residue is acidic and abrasive, which means it can wear down your car’s clear coat and make the paint underneath more vulnerable to fading, scratches and other damage.

the risks of bug residue
When bugs collide with your car, they leave behind residue that can start to decompose, releasing enzymes that stick tightly to the paint. If not cleaned off, this residue can wear away the clear coat, which protects the paint and keeps your car looking new. Bugs can also bond firmly enough that removal will actually strip a layer of clear coat along with the goo.
Ignoring bug marks can lead to bigger problems, as the clear coat also shields the paint from UV rays, dirt and grime. Once this protective layer is compromised, the paint underneath can oxidize and degrade more quickly, resulting in dull spots, discoloration, pitting or even costly paint correction. All of this can often be avoided with quick attention to the problem.
