Hi Robert,

Iâ€™ve been doing a lot of driving recently and, as a result, bugs are piling up on my 2018 Nissan Titanâ€™s grille. Is there any way of preventing this?

Thanks,
Ken

Hi, Ken!

Unfortunately, once the miles start racking up, so do the bugs. There isn't a lotÂ you can do to prevent them from hitting your 2018 Nissan Titan,Â but you can make it easier to clean its grille.

The best thing to do is grease your truckâ€™s grille before you hit the road.Â Once you reach your destination and clean yourÂ vehicle, the bugs will slide off more easily.

Some people suggest covering your grille in car wax but this can be hard to spread evenly over all the bends and corners.

People have been known to use spray-on cooking oil, but this often contains lecithin which is a fatty acid. Over time this will form a gummy coating on your grille and make bugs stick to it: this definitely isnâ€™t what you want.

There are automotive products specifically designed for this purpose which contain lanolin. They wonâ€™t become sticky over time and donâ€™t wash off easily with water: this is what you should use.

Make sure to give your truck a quick wipe every time you take a long trip. When you let the bugs accumulate, it's harder to get them off.

Thanks for the question, Ken! Contact Kirkland Nissan, Washington again if you need anything else.
