Bugs be gone

[xlr8rvette]

Last week drove the Lexus to San Diego and back. 1200 miles and 12,000 bugs on windshield, front and mirrors. On way down used Adams Glass Cleaner on windshield while at rest area. Worked well. When got home had the 12k bugs.

 

Washed car yesterday. Did not wash windshield or front. When done with rest of car sprayed windshield, front and mirrors with APC. Let sit a few minutes. Then washed with Adams Shampoo same as rest of car. ALL BUGS WERE GONE except for very few on front edge of hood and one headlight which I then applied the APC to a microfiber and wiped away.

 

Afterwards I applied buttery wax to these areas just in case, although it did not appear to need any. I am very pleased with the results of APC for easily getting rid of the bugs !!

I never tried Adam's APC but I here so many good things about it.

Guess I'll have to order some of it.

Making it easy it seems.

Just be VERY careful not to allow APC to dry on the paint.

 

Honestly, water left to sit will help a ton too.

 

A good foam on the car that's left to sit for a bit helps as well. No doubt APC works better, but just be careful not to let it sit and dry, and like the OP did, wax when done.

Good to know for when I take my car up to the cottage, Or Summer house as most americans call it

I spray down any bugs with APC. Helps alot. I have heard the WCW also does really well.

WCW is safer because if it dries, you don't have to worry about it harming your paint.

If you are paranoid about the APC drying, I found out that eagle 1's bug remover works well too. I always have both now case its really hot out and I wanna get the bugs off.

I need to make a diluted bottle of APC.. and a few others..

[Bill-V8V]

Just make sure that after using any type of bug remover that you clean it off really well and apply some wax. Anything strong enough to remove bugs/tar will take your wax off too

This is good to read...I have been leery of putting APC right on the paint. But with bug season starting....I might try it on a cool car with hose at the ready.

Do you guys dilute it 50% with distilled water or what?

I always carry my bag of Adam's detailing supply when I take the vette out for a cruise.

I use WCW on bugs too, it won't strip the wax like APC will!

Any kind of dilution I make gets only distilled water. The local water here is pretty hard. No sense taking any chances, plus you never know what the hard water might react with in the chemicals.

 

BTW, I saw a 370 locally in that same color - beautiful paint color, very unusual.
