If you get a new grill, ceramic coat it right away. The ceramic will make the bug clean up a non-issue. Most of the bugs will just hose off.I was wiping bugs off the grill with water and a microfiber cloth and the paint flaked right off without much pressure. Dealer is trying to warranty it and get me a new grill (and yup it’ll just happen again but I want to see if they’ll let me keep the original one so I can paint it correctly). But the plastic grill is so smooth. Whoever manufactured it for ford didn’t even bother sanding the plastic prior to paint. I don’t think they even did a coat of primer so it’s just direct paint to smooth plastic. The paint essentially has nothing to bond to.
