removing splattered bugs

[Troy Ledbetter]

Hey all! Just wondering what you all use? I usually have good luck with acryclean or wax and grease remover but this time not everything came off. This is on the leading edge of the hood and chrome front bumper. Thanks, Troy: sniper:

This combo works very well for bugs. Spray on the bug squash but allow it to dwell a little. Makes for very easy work :)

i just rinse it down then wipe it good with dryer sheets, ive never had any bug guts survive a dryer sheet....and its cheap

[pl4yboy]

Never heard of using dryer sheets. I'll have to try that.

[GSUchevy07]

i had never heard of it either, but trust me, just get the truck wet then wiper down where the bugs are

Whatever you do, DO NOT just start scrubbing!

Use some form of bug & tar remover, but allow it to soak for a while, and do its thing. Then make sure you're using something soft that has soap on it to wash away the guts.

And keep in mind that anything you use to get this stuff off is gonna shorten the lifespan of a coat of wax!

Get a dryer sheet, wet down the area and wipe away. Easy and quickest way you'll ever use.

I use this stuff called bug-x from turtle wax, im pritty shur that the name anyway. works great.

[GSUchevy07]

i just grab 2 new dryer sheets fold them together then wipedown, turn it over and do it again

[GSUchevy07]

the truck gotta be wet tho

I try to get the bugs off asap. If that means every day, then so be it. Once the acidic juices from the bugs get baked by the sun your paint is pretty F'ed.

Ive used a mixture of peroxide and water... It eats the bugs put it in a spray bottle and spray away let it set for a few mins and they come off cherry when u go to wash it...

Well-buffed paint and a good coat of wax makes getting them off a lot easier next time.

...pressure washer...

I use bug-x also and it seems to do the job
