Test Two:
For test two each of the products (minus the Pinnacle Bug Sponge and Chemical Guy's Bug Bugger which both required agitation) where agitated after being allowed to dwell for the amount of time on the directions.
Then each product was rinsed off. Instead of showing pictures of a general purpose microfiber towel on each section lets jump to the final results.
Pinnacle SoftScrub Bug Sponge.
Chemical Guy's Bug Bugger.
Poorboy's Bug Squash.
Diamondite Bug Eraser.
Dodo Juice Supernatural Tar & Glue Remover.
CarPro Tar-X.
Final Notes by Product:
Pinnacle SoftScrub Bug Sponge- Removed the majority of bug remains quickly when the soap solution was allowed to dwell for just 20-30 seconds. Some tougher remains likely needed increased scrubbing (at the risk of marking the paint) or one of the chemical cleaners used in this thread.
Chemical Guys Bug Bugger- Removed the majority bugs on the first application. After being allowed to dwell for 30 seconds the remaining bugs came off with minimal effort. Extremely effective solution that requires mixing in a separate wash bucket.
Poorboy's Bug Squash- Good sudsing and clinging when applied to bug solution. It is much stronger when used with light agitation.
Dodo Juice Supernatural Glue & Tar Remover- Strong citrus based cleaner removed some fairly stubborn remains with out agitation. Lightly wiping with a microfiber quickly removed the remainder. Strong citrus smell.
Diamondite Eraser- Likely had the worse, most soiled area to work on. Was able to remove a lot of stubborn remains with out agitation although some was needed for complete removal. High suds action makes it easy to see where it has been applied.
CarPro Tar-X- This mild manner cleaner is easy to spot with its green tracers and strong smell. It definitely needs to be agitated, not only to remove the bug residue but also to rinse completely free.
