I have always used PB bug squash during bug season. Now that PB has released a mesh MF towel, its like a match made in heaven.


The towel isn't the softest initially but when you wet the towel it becomes soft enough to rub against paint without any worries. This design is really brilliant and makes removing bugs easy and worry-free. This towel is also great on rocker panels to clean up, give it a shot!

 
Nice review!

I am definitely picking up a pack of the mesh towels on the next order.

Question: how long did you let the Bug Squash dwell before agitating?
 
in this video I probably let it dwell for 2 mins or so. on my typical car wash, I do my windshield>hood>front bumper last. before I get to those areas I would just spray down the windshield. front section of hood and bumper. by the time I get to the bumper the product has softened the bugs long enough for easy removal
 
very different. at first, it felt a little rough but it makes sense for something that is going to attack bugs to be that way. once it wet, it's very soft and feels like no damage could be done to the paint.

kind of reminds me of a regular paper towel. u would never want to rub a dry one on your paint but once it's wet it's soft enough to remove bird crap or whatever
 
Great video!

I just looked at my last order and I got the gallon of bug squash but forget the towel.

Looks like a small order will be placed soon

Were those mosquitoes? Kind of looked like a miniature version of what we have here. ;) Skeeters here in July and August are the size of a sparrow with a sixteen penny nail attached to their head. Their guts are the equivalent of a two part epoxy with a five minute set time. It takes only ten of these exploded insects to completely cover the front of a Mack truck. :) Seriously though, was the mixture 1:3 or 3:1? The video said one thing and the bottle said the opposite thing. I'm assuming one part Bug Squash to three parts water? Think I'd like to try those towels, I'm already a big fan of Bug Squash.

Donbeezy,

Apologies for the late follow-up. Advice is sincerely appreciated.

Decided to go out and wash our cars during the fantastic weather today, and play with the bug squash to see what my experiences were. I diluted about 2:1 (water : BS) as the bugs were pretty baked on from the last couple of weeks. Applied in shade, let dwell for 3-5 minutes, and most of the bug guts and carcasses came off with the first rinse. Sprayed more on (light coat), and agitated with a cheap bug sponge I had... cleaned them right up.

Bug Squash is pretty amazing stuff. Did have to re-apply LSP (Natty's Black) on my wife's car... wasn't gone (based on beading), but definitely diminished.

I'm sold on Poorboys products. everything I've used so far has been great. The Super Slick and Suds is incredible. Used it in direct sunlight on a hot car, and the soap still rinsed off superb.
 
Great video Don ... thanks :)

Yes, stronger dilutions like 2:1 can start removing some of your LSP, but if the choice is getting old bug guts off or adding some more LSP .. the choice is simple :bigups
 
Nice! My bug towel should be delivered tomorrow.

Question - does anyone know how Bug Squash compares to the cleaning ability of OPC 3:1?

I've never compared those two products directly for bug removal, but I've tried OPC on paint before and you'd get much better lubricity with PB Bug Squash.
