Looks like a great product. Any other ideas? How about soaking the front end with a soapy towel and letting it sit for awhile to loosen it up? I just bought a used 1st boat and you know the acronym. Bust out another thousand. Talk about money! LOL.

Thanks. Good idea. I think Ill go for the 16 oz for the super bugs that are stuck. They should make glue out of bugs! LOL.

Just about all detail chemical companies make a bug remover. My go to is Carpro Bug off. Spray on and let soak a minute and rinse. If still there spray again then use car shampoo water and a bug scrubber and gently scrub away.

If you have a target near you they have a bug and tar remover from Turtle wax for like 5 bucks. It's the cheapest chemical cleaner i've found and it just melts that junk off. Other companies make the same type of product but it'll be 4 times the price.

WOW. I hate crap like that. I'm retired and 5 bucks is still 5 bucks. Got a Target a few miles down the road. Thank you.

Citrol on a microfiber will wipe straight through stuck on bugs, and LOTS of other things too. Just make sure to wash the car after using it and reapply your coating/sealant. (That goes for any product made to remove sticky residues.)

Cmon man. There are tons of bug remover products out there.

PPF or ceramic your car and they're much easier to remove with washing.

When I was detailing, I learned a great trick. Wash the car as normal. Then, soak a dryer sheet in your wash water and use the wet dryer sheet to remove the bugs. They emulsify and come right off.

You guys are ways off 😁
The best and cheapest product is by far hydrogen peroxide….
It dissolves all organic matter. Remember when you have a cut or scratch and pour some on it ?
It became all white?
Just get a small spray bottle at the store and spray it on the hardened dead bugs
it will turn white and soften the bugs. Wait a bit and wipe
Very old dead bugs could require a couple of spray/wipe

Yeah, and then say goodbye to any wax or sealant on your car. Lol

There are plenty of safer alternatives to use on your finish.
