    Bug Squash just arrived...now what?

    Well my very first PB product came in the mail. 32oz of BS in all it`s glory. I know you can dilute it several ways for different applications but my question is, for those that have several bottles of BS with different strengths, do you simply mark your bottles BS 3:1, BS 13:1, etc? Also, I get pretty bad love bugs here in the valley, would it harm my paint/wax if I use the stuff 1:1?

    Thanks in advance!

    I use it 5:1. Doesn`t need to be any stronger in my opinion as long as your paint is sealed. For bad bugs I use Tarminator now.

    I`ve used it at full strength with no problems but I usually dilute for normal usage. I can`t remember what my bottle is diluted to right now. I`ll check when I get home

    I tend to use it at 3:1 as a pre-wash.

    Thanks everyone for your feedback. It`s safe to say it can be used full strength with no problems then. Waking up early tomorrow and trying this stuff out.

    3:1 is should strip wax and this came straight from Poorboys. Straight it can remove lsp but I have been using it at 3:1 without issue.

    I think you mean that 3;1 should not strip wax.

    I always use it full strength and works all the time for me. Then follow with a quick coat of LSP to make sure it`s protected.

    Not sure that`s enough.


    My bottle is diluted 3:1 and it seems to work find. On stubborn bugs or tar I`ll skip to full strength

    Well I used it today 3:1 and the bugs just fell off after about a minute of sitting. This stuff is amazing!
