So am I correct in understanding that waterless wash is what everybody around here uses this as bug remover? Down here in Alabama I can't drive a mile without having the front of my ride covered in bugs this time of year. I have used another brand of bug remover in the past but I am not so sure how good it is on my paint. So I turn to you experts humbly to ask your assistance on this. Thanks in advance guys:cheers:

Spray it on fairly wet, let sit for a minute, spray again, and wipe using a WW towel, making sure to flip to a clean side with each wipe.

 

Works the bees knees.

If they're really bad you can also pre-treat with APC.

 

  • Rinse the area down with a hose to dislodge as much of the bug guts as you can.
  • Spray APC (full strength or 1:1 depending on your preference)
  • Allow to dwell on the area, but do not allow it to dry
  • Rinse well, then wash with Car Wash and a separate wash pad
  • The remaining critter bits should come off pretty easy

 

Only cautions with this is to never use it on a hot surface or attempt in direct sunlight. If you have any concerns about delicate areas on the parts of the car you'll be treating start with a diluted mixture first and work your way up as needed.

Would this require re-waxing? APC is some strong stuff!

Yes... but if you have bug impacts on the front you're gonna need to rewax anyways... a wax or sealant layer is only a few microns thick... a hard bug exoskeleton impacting it at 55mph + and the guts sitting there definitely remove any protection that was there.

 

Learn something new everyday. I guess I can take the rest of the day off :banana:

Thanks for the info

Also want to say thanks for this information. It sure does make sense. I mean if bug guts can eat through clear coat and down into the paint why wouldn't they eat through sealant and a coat or 2 of wax.
