Help me get my bugs off!

[LandonZ]

Hey, the last couple of cars that I did had some bugs on the front that I just couldnt get off.. Of course they had been on there a while!! Whats your secret on getting dried bugs off the front of the cars? I want to buy something that will make my bug cleaning easy!



Thanks

go to your local big lots and pick up some long haul truck degreaser & bug remover, it`s only $3 for a huge 28 oz bottle! i hadn`t washed my car in two weeks and i used this stuff the other day on some grease, bugs, etc.. and it made short work of it fast. pick up a few bottles, because it won`t be around forever...

Did you try to clay the bugs off? Worked with me. If you put som layers of sealant and waxes they come very easely off at each wash.

Here is a threat dealing with it :

I use duragloss on all my surfaces, but on the leading edges I also use collinte IW...makes the bugs come off really easy.



I have no idea how harsh the bug and tar removers are, so I don`t use them. Now that I have ONR, I think a presoak with this will also help make them just fall away.



The hard frosts have now come in my area, so the bugs are all over for a few months!!

For customer`s cars you may want to consider PB bug squash. it does a nice job on those neglected cars and trucks. just my two cents.

I went to my local ShopRite and bought a package of 100ct. Isopropyl Alcohol Wipes for $1.99. They take the bugs off in an instant. But you have to wax that area afterwards.



By far, the most cost-efficient way to go.

If the bugs have been on there a long time you might have etching to deal with. I don`t have *much* trouble with that, but I did have to do two spots on the hood of the S8 a while back, the bug-guts etched the clear, requiring some spot-correction.
