Every road trip I take, I slam into bugs mile after mile. Splat! What is that slime on the windshield? It’s so hard to wash off! Have you ever noticed that it comes in different colors?
That Gunk on Your Car is a funny reference book that I enjoyed on a recent road trip. It’s a field guide to insects that have likely splatted against your windshield. It was a cute book for older children or adults, and makes a handy reference manual for long road trips on the Interstate!
I especially enjoyed the color photos of the “splats” to help identify some of the insects. It was divided into chapters regarding each of the more common insects. It’s not something you would necessarily read straight through, but made a great reference guide.
Along with this book, I tried a product to help me remove those sticky bugs from my car windshield. It was Prestone Bug Wash windshield washer fluid. I poured it into my windshield washer reservoir and hit the road. In fact, it did such a great job that I had my teenager clean the front of the minivan with it when we got home.
