Dear Todd

Thanks for going to the trouble of doing this comparison and documenting and reporting your results.

Great review Todd.



Any of the above products + pressure washer = win!


...add Opti-Coat into the mix and it`s win win!

Great test, thanks for taking the time to put it together! It looks like I`m gonna have to pick up some of the supernatural cleaner!

It`s a really unique product, let us know how you feel!

Great write up, Todd. Do we get to hear which you prefer or any weaknesses? Sounds like all are effective, as would be expected. Any standouts?

I didn`t find any of the products to be week. The CarPro was a little more difficult to wipe off the paint because it seemed like the green `tracers` adhered to the paint quickly. Ultimately, with agitation, they all worked great.

Looks to me like the Chemical Guys have a very nice product.

Agreed, it worked extremely well!

Nice review Todd! I have used the Poorboy`s World Bug Squash and I really like it. Might have to give CG Bug Bugger a try. By the way, is that Jason`s truck you`re working on?

It could be....

Very impressive. I have got to pick up one of the bug sponges for when I get the vehicles that have the bugs baked on. Thanks for taking the time to do such an extensive write up and nice job on the photography!

Your very welcome!

So Todd after the test, which one is in your arsnel ?

I currently have Tar-X, but I like to switch and try other products often. Anybody who has ever read my post history knows that I experiment. I am not sure which one I will migrate towards next.

Nice test Todd. I`ve used PB for a while now and I`ve been happy with it. I just got the bug sponge to try but haven`t used it yet I have a sample of Tar X i need to try out also.

I like trying different stuff for bugs because I hate using too much agitation.

I`ve been using Bug Bugger for over a year now. I dilute it in a quart size sprayer with a foaming tip. After initial rinse, I foam the affected area and allow it to soak while washing the top of car, then wash the buggy area after that. I`ve never had a trace of guts left behind.

BTW, thanks Todd!...If that`s what Max makes you do for a paycheck, you`re way underpaid.

I love cleaning bugs!

Thanks for the tip with Bug Bugger! That`s what makes this forum great IMO.

Make sure to keep me informed on how it works!

Is it safe to assume that all of these products strip the LSP?

The 1Z Anti Insekt description says it does not, any idea if that`s actually true?

[Van185]

After reading the review I got a bottle of the Dodo Juice. I`ll post a short review after I get a chance to give it a try. It`s weather dependent where I live at right now. 20 degrees and snowing right now.

We need a spray to make this snow go away. As for the bugs, maybe ill have to try that bug sponge out.

To be honest I would have to test it. I`ll give it a shot and report back.

I`d be interested in those results too Todd - I`ve read that the Bug Squash at 1:3 doesn`t strip LSP, and it would be nice to see that confirmed

[Rocket]

I`ve always assumed that it does strip LSP. It`s not too hard to reapply LSP to those areas or use a spray wax like Optimum or sealant like BF Deep Gloss Spray Sealant.

Sweet - thanks. I`ve mostly stayed away from bug/tar removes since I assumed they were more-powerful-than-dawn-like stripping agents.

I need to get me some more Dodo products. They`re all fantastic. Thanks for the review Todd!
