Luv bug removal from paint

[007]

What do you guys use to remove old bug residue from painted bumpers?

 

[spasm3]

I soak it with carwash soap warm water slightly diluted , sometimes a clay bar afterwards. A sealant will help keep them from sticking.

WD 40

 

[OneEyeJack]

Spray on furniture polish and soaking time. Be patient.

I have used peroxide in the past but I have some stuff that I can't get off at the moment.

Try baking soda and water, will leave a white haze but it's easily wiped off.

Avoid Florida during love bug season. So gross.

Agree with the WD 40 for bugs or tar residue.

When washing the car a used Dobie, or similar gentle scrubber for dishes, works just fine. and, yes, keep some wax on there to make removal easier. Use high beams at night only when needed during that season since they attract more bugs.

Pre-treat with Poorboys Bug Squash at 3:1 (water:concentrate) and let it dwell for 30 secs or so. using a MF bg sponge, it takes bugs right off--no more dealing with petroleum distillate-based stuff.

Then give it a good wash

Agree on the PB Bug Squash:

Plus Poorboys has excellent MF towels.

Just noticed they also have a MF bug towel:

Sudsy ammonia. Full strength. Alkaline detergents disassemble (unravel) proteins, which is what bug guts are. Cheap and effective. You WILL need to rewax afterwards...
