apparently... a hundred little bugs felt like making love to the front of my car the last time i drove.

how can i remove them and clean the front of the car without scratching the paint? they're like stuck.

Have you just done a straight wash yet? Usually the little ones wash off pretty easily.

ron10 · 10-07-2011, 05:46 PM

i just use detail spray.

Trying using bug and tar remover with fabric softener sheets. then rinse off. Use it for love bugs and dragon flys down here in Florida.

Turtle Wax makes a "Bug and Tar remover" that works really good

Ive been using this on my motorcycle for years now, to remove everything. Tar, bugs, grime anything. Just spray it on and wipe off, dont even need water. This stuff is the best by far. Now the camaro front bumper gets a spray of this every time before I wash her to remove the millions of bugs. Heres the site:

I will second this post. Have it, use it, love it! Use a nice microfiber cloth so you don't mess up the finish

nealdiwes · 10-09-2011, 05:32 AM

Use a microfiber bug rag and soapy water; that should do it.

Scott@Bjorn3D · 10-09-2011, 06:07 AM

I usually use car wash pressure spayer, but if just a few the Turtle Wax stuff others has mentioned is awesome.

I use optimal no rinse and a thick microfiber towel. It's not as fast as bug remover but it won't remove your wax or sealant.

Let the ONR break the bugs down, it takes a few applications. So far no swirls..

3rd it , great stuff

If it were me and a normal wash won't clear them.

1.) Wash it normally to get most of what you can off
2.) Clay bar the front, that will get the rest off
3.) Use a polish for the front
4.) Wax the front.

The fresh polish/wax should help them come off much easier the next time.

If you are going to use bug and tar. I would recommend you put new wax on whatever you use it on. Its gonna take the wax off.

Then wash and wax as normal... as said, a good wax helps to remove bugs
