Default The Answer To My Bug Problem!

Armor All's Heavy Duty Car Wash. Applied to car with tons of bugs on front, let it sit for 5 minutes, washed and rubbed and most bugs were out. Applied one more time washed out and all bugs were gone....just trying to help

I agree with you on that. That stuff eats everything but paint

A good coat of wax will usually help this problem. I have no problems getting my front end clean with the nice coat of Zymol I have on the car.

When I take a long trip and have bugs dried to the front of my cars, I set up a yard sprinkler in front of the car and have it oscillate over the windshield and front bumper for an hour or so. The bugs just wipe off. I prefer this to using any strong chemicals on my paint.

I first start with a good coat of (your favorite) wax. Then I have been using Griots Speed shine. The stuff takes the bugs off with ease and then puts a coat of wax on at the same time. Not all of the Griots stuff is the best but I sure like this stuff. After I wash the car clean, I use it (SS) and you can feel the difference between the "before" Speed Shine areas and the "after" Speed Shine areas.

Putting the bra on before is easier than the clean-up after
