Default Removing Bug Guts

Ok, I would say this is seperate from the car washing thread because it's a specific issue...

What do you guys find as the best way to do this?

Some guy told me that you can use dryer sheets to remove it, then again I was thinking that just doesn't sound right so I thought I would ask. Don't want to screw up the paint more than it already is!

You gotta scrub and scrub. Also clay works very well too. I never use the quick detail that comes with the claybar kits I use the clay while I wash. Just wash the front real good then rinse and then wash again and get it good and soapy then rub over it the clay.

The turtle wax stuff is definatley good. sometimes you gotta scrub a little. Clay bar is good if you wash most off first so you just don't jam up a good claybar with bugs. I've found that while washing if you use one of those sponges that has a mesh net over it, it takes them off real good. Once you get em clean, wax it up good and they will come off easier the next time.
