Removing bugs do I need to reseal

My car is sealed with Menzerna PL88P Power Lock Polymer Sealant, and if I use McKee's 37 Road Kill Bug remover do I need to reapply the sealant each time?

Yes. Bug & Tar removers are heavily solvent based and can degrade or completely remove any traditional wax or sealant on the paint. It is always best to reapply the wax or sealant of your choice after using a Bug & Tar remover.

I was afraid of that. That's ok, I guess that's the price you pay to have a nice car and keep it nice.
Thanks for the reply, Jeff
