Can we talk about Bug Squash?

[CharlesW]

During the summer months I clean the front of my car every time I drive it.
While we don't have a bug problem like some southern states do when I get home I usually have a couple on the front and as soon as I pull into the garage I use glass cleaner to remove the bugs.
If done while fresh not sun backed on a little spritz of glass cleaner and a MF towel removes them.
Fast Effective and Cheap.

Are you at all concerned that the glass cleaner is also removing your sealant/wax?
I don't really know what is in glass cleaner, but is it something to be used on paint? I don't and wouldn't feel comfortable using it, but that's just my personal feeling about it.

I'm not going to go back through the thread, but what I intended to say is not that we don't have bugs, but that I don't have a bug problem.
If I have an accumulation of bugs,I just lay a wet towel, (warm water since that's what I use for washing) over the bugs while I wash other areas of the vehicle. The warm water soaking softens them to the place where they wash off quite easily with whatever wash product I happen to be using.

FWIW, I not only have still not used the Bug Squash for anything, I also have one of the bug scrub sponges that I have never used in the 2 or 3 years I have owned it.

CharlesW, just go ahead and send me your unused BS, but you can keep the scrub sponge.

I would have similar qualms about using a glass cleaner (ammoniated or not), but it does not seem to be an unusual practice. I think we've discussed that here before, regarding some people who do their entire car wash with Windex or similar products. Though I'll admit to a bit of surprise to hear this coming from one of our own.

Does UPS deliver to El Estado Solitario de la Estrella?
Also, I couldn't find the zip code.

LOL, you know down here in the wild, wild west we have to resort to the pony express.

Anybody use it as a pre-soak for salt residue before a no-rinse or waterless wash?
