Default will waxing the bumper help with bugs?

this has to be the most buggy summer ever. My bumper gets caked and it takes some serious work to get dried guts off.
I would think wax might not make them stick as bad, least in theory.
I've tried a few things but it does not seem to help all that much.

on a side note, Damn our cars look great when they are cleaned and detailed.

If only that look could last more then a day.

Try a Dryer sheet that you use in your laundry dryer.

Default Always worked for me.

Never tried this product, but Rain-X always has good quality stuff.

I always kept a good fresh polish or wax job on. You have to keep up with washing too.

Never a big fan of a bra because of the trade off. No bug stains, but the dirt that gets under it gets ground into the paint. Its easier to clean off a few bugs every couple days than taking off the bra and putting it back on. And still have to clean under it.<ul><li><a href="http://www.rainx.com/Tips_Information/New_Bug_Tar_Shield.aspx">http://www.rainx.com/Tips_Information/New_Bug_Tar_Shield.aspx</a</li></ul>

I think that you don't want to get Rain-X on your paint too much. I could be wrong though.
