As you peel off the old bug shield, clean the area using water and dish soap. Remove all leftover adhesive as you wash the hood. Let the area dry completely before attaching the new bug deflector to make sure that it will stick.
After washing the hood, allow the surface to dry before wiping it clean with rubbing alcohol. Rubbing alcohol can effectively remove remaining traces of oil and dirt. Once the area is clean and dry, that’s when you should set up the new bug shield in place.
Car bras and bug shields both protect the front end of the vehicle. Car bras, however, are wrapped around the front end of the car, while bug shields just take up the hood’s front. Bug shields work by using a jet of air to deflect bugs. These shields come in a lower, compact variety and also have a high-rising version that provides more protection. Car bras, which come in full bra and sport bra designs, protect against kicked-up dirt and debris on the road. With full car bras. the grille and bumper are covered and the front edge of the hood is wrapped. Sport bras, meanwhile, are wrapped around the hood’s edge.
Look for a bug deflector that’s manufactured from aerospace-grade acrylic. This material won’t get easily damaged or worn out and will last for a long while. It’s sturdy enough to endure pelting pebbles, bugs flying smack into the hood, kicked-up debris, and other forces. The shield should be warp- and crack-resistant. It also shouldn’t scratch easily.
The bug shield should be washed using car soap and water. Use soapy water to hose off or scrub away stuck dirt and dead bugs. Also hose off the space between the hood and bug shield. To restore the sheen on the shield, wipe some plastic polish on it using a soft, clean rag. Leave the polish on for about half an hour. You have to buff the shield using a power drill with an attached pad. To make the shield shinier, add another coat of polish and re-buff.
Instead of buying a new bug shield, you can just spray paint the old bug guard to give it a new look. You have to remove the bug shield. Make sure that the spray paint is made for the bug shield material, and do the painting evenly.
You may use a plastic solvent cement to fix the breaks and cracks. You have to remove the bug shield. Before applying the solvent cement, the oil or grease should be washed off using dish detergent. Fit the pieces together. You may use spring clamps and mark the clamp’s spots with masking tape. For gaps in the cracked pieces, you may use a plastic patch. You may cut a small part of ABS plastic or acrylic that you can use as backing. Make the right measurements so that the gap or crack will be covered properly. On the broken pieces, apply a thin coat of solvent cement and let it dry for about 2 hours or as long as needed. Strictly follow the manufacturer’s instructions for applying the plastic solvent cement.
