  • Bug splats - Best way to get rid of them?

    Bugs are the nastiest thing ever to get off the front of my car. Bug and tar remover is out of the question, as that crap never works as well as they say it will. Does anyone have any tips, tricks, or product recommendations so I can make this an easier job? I have to clean bugs off EVERY day if I drive at night.

    Elbow grease.

    Or a strong stream of water.

    But seriously, Bug & Tar Remover always worked well for me...




    Oh, and by the way, your avatar is incredibly amusing.

                  Elbow Grease and a microfiber cloth work wonders. I haven't tried the bug and tar remover yet, although I do have some black stains on the inside edges of my quarter panels/fenders near the wheelwells that I wouldn't mind getting rid of. . . Seems that no matter how much I scrub, it never gets any cleaner. . .

                    Instant detailer...spray them down real good and let them soak for a 5-10 minutes....this gives the bugs a chance to re-hydrate, then they usually wipe right off with minimal fuss....also helps to have a good coat of wax on the paint too.
