Default Bug Remover, What's The Best Stuff To Use?

Hi All,

What's the best stuff to use to remove bugs from the bumper, grill, light covers and hood edge? I don't want to hurt any plastic or paint on my xB.

Thanks,

Matt

Wow that looks too easy. I wonder if they will have them at the local autoparts store. My xB gets her first hand wash this weekend....

I use Meguiar's Gold Class Bug And Tar Remover and/or a clay bar to get those stubborn spots.

Keep in mind that most, if not all, methods of removing bugs and tar will remove the wax from the effected areas. Make sure to rewax those spots!
