I used to use that lil sponge with the fishnet looking screen on it,because i never liked "bug and tar remover" now i use this stuff from pepboys i can't remember the name but it comes in a green clear bottle and sprays on clear, its just bug remover, you
spray it on good and heavy then ley it sit for a min or 2 then rinse it off while rubbing with a sponge.

works for me.

 

Coca Cola!!! Rubbing coke on love bugs gets them off!!! I know it sounds wierd but it works!

AMAZING!


dilute the APC 5:1, spray, let sit for a minute, remove bugs with scrubby pad. done!

 

Of course, it's acid :-)

 

Wanna do my cars? LOL

 

Scrubby pad?!?!? You are not getting near my car!

 

^^ It's ok, its the only scrubby pad that's ok to use.

Since I am able to wash my car every 2-3 weeks, I usually just wash. Sometimes I have to clay. That's it.

And yes, Meg's 5:1 is actually pretty effective, although I found that out on accident. Ahem

I usually just spray some Purple Power lovebug stuff just to get the actual insect off.

But then again it's also about keeping the paint surface protected... I use Collinite 845 and Aquawax now. Effective combo.

Oh, and I need to clay the windshield just about every week, too. It's also important to put osmething on the windshield... I just use Rain-X, although Aquawax works too. Makes the surface slick and easier to clean (and especialyl dry)

 

Dunno about love bugs, but last time I had a bugfest I used this stuff called "Nature's Miracle" - I use it to clean up bunny pee! They've got the usual marketing jive on the bottle, something about enzymes, so I thought what the heck. Spray, wait a minute or two, wipe. Beats the heck out of the bug and tar remover I'd been using.

 

Bunny Pee...
B U N N Y P E E...
bunny pee...
Hmm...wow
