Bug Remover

[ChrisGT]

I'm having a hard time keeping the bugs off my front end and was wondering if you guys had any thoughts on bug removers. I tried the Gunk brand and wasn't at all impressed with the results. Help me win the war against bugs!

Bug N Tar remover is what I use. The best thing is to keep the paint waxed. Then with a little water the bugs just slide off!

Yup, Bug N Tar remover works pretty well. Another little gadget that I like to use is a plastic scouring pad (like the ones you use to clean pots and pans). It’s just abrasive enough to get the bugs off, without hurting the paint.

If I’m going on a long trip, I usually spray the front of my bumper with “Pam” cooking spray believe it or not. Makes the bugs real easy to get off with that and washes off with soap and water. Also works well for at the track when you spray it on your lower rear quarter pannel. The burn rubber is no sweat to get off then.

try WD-40. i have yet to try it but hear it does wonders. I may have to try the PAM thing

Put a light coat of baby oil over the bumber...works great for keeping the bugs at bay.

GUNK Bug and Tar Remover = CRAP!!!

The Pam idea sounds like it might be a winner if I can ever get the front cleaned off!

I found out Meguiars Quick Detail spray is pretty handy in a pinch.

WD-40 to remove em, but you'll have to wash the car afterward. Still, WD is great for removing bugs and harmless to the paint. I use this all the time.
Just one of the many uses of WD-40!

Well, it they've been on there a while, the Gunk stuff doesn't work all that well. Also, applying it on a hot day doesn't help, because it dries up on you too soon and just makes a mess. You'll have to use a little elbow grease in that case. Wet it down for 5-min or so first to soften them up and try cleaning them off with one of those plastic woven Scotch-Brite scouring pads and some dish soap and water.

When you say Pam spray, do I use the regular or Butter Flavored?

Definately go with the butter flavored, the bugs will appreciate it more.....oh wait, no they won't.

ugh i was kinda mad someone had already mentioned the Pam. I thought i would be the cool one posting that. Well also im not sure if someone metioned it, but those clear front stick on peices, that alot of detail shops do. Keeps rocks away to for those insane law breaking rides home from the track.

so i tried out the whole Pam thing yesterday. I tried putting Pam on the front bumper but it just made a big mess.
