I had a person show me a quick easy way to clean love bugs off your car and windshield. Take a dryer sheet, like bounce and soak it in water and just rub it over the bugs. They will come off very easily. You really don’t have to rub very hard. I then take a hose or go to the car wash and rinse the area. I have done this for years and have not had issues with the paint.

That is "not bad" Have seen swarms that will coat my windshield in < 5 miles

Update: I got swarmed on my way down to West Palm Beach area today. It caught us on Florida's Turnpike near Kissimmee/Orlando and continued on and off all the way to Yeehaw Junction.

Area you described is bad for the love bugs. Bet next service plaza was packed
