I scraped off a bunch at the gas station. You can see some carcasses on the ground. I tried to go to a car wash that evening, but it was packed with people. Didn't occur to me until just now that the reason it was packed was probably the same reason I was there
The next morning no one was there so I was able to try to wash the front end off. I was able to use a very high power pressure washer to get most of the bodies off the grid to the radiator and off the fog lights. I tried to be very careful with it on the paint, but those grasshoppers were very stubborn.
And we have been busy since getting back from the trip, but tomorrow I'm getting out the bug and tar remover. Previously I tried to get the dirt off, but it really didn't hose off well and I was afraid of grinding the grit into the paint. So I just ran water on it and loosened the dirt with my hand. That helped. But tomorrow I will try to actually wash it. I might be seeing Zaino and a clay bar in my future.
