I have been traveling alot lately and my 8's front end is littered with baked on bug guts. A normal wash with a net sponge isnt getting it done. What kind of cleaners do you guys use for bugs thats safe on paint? Or is there nothing out there and I should just use more elbow grease?

use a wet dryer sheet (like bounce). then wash off the residue with water. should work wonders.

act fast though.

There is a good cleaner that I use.. RainX bug and Tar removal Its in a blue bottle and works like magic.. get rise your car and spray it on.. let it sit for 3 mins. and wash your car...

Sounds good. I'll try both of those. Thanks

You shouldn't be using a net sponge on your paint. If anything, it should only be used on glass since it is very abrasive.

Claybar it.

I tried recently Seafoam bug & tar spray, worked great, cheap too 2$.

clay bar

Ditto on the claybar. Those things are magical. :icon_tup:

you gotta get the guk off first. claybar will make a mess of it.

Myriad is right that works well. But if you want a free way. Take a shop towel dampen it with water throw it in the microwave for about 45 sec. lay it on top of the bugs and it will steam them right off.

Works with dried on bugs. We have serious issue with love bugs here in FL and I use his trick all the time.
