I have recommended cleaning bugs using microfiber towels soaked in Car Wash solution previously, but I have never documented this. Well my son was nice enough to load his car up with love bugs on a trip this week, so this provided an excellent opportunity to take some pictures of my process!
Here is what we are dealing with - nasty little bugs that are filled with clear-coating eating acid in their bodies:
A nice spray pattern on the hood
A lovely close up
Pre-soak the areas with pre-mixed Car Wash solution and a foaming sprayer
Our non-Adam's supplies - some thin MF towels from the warehouse club
Soak the towels in the soap
And apply over the 'buggy' area
The hood was pre-treated and then lightly wiped with Trim Brush
I left the towels on while I did the wheels (about 15 minutes) then I shot this video while I removed one of the towels. The bugs wiped off very easily, and as you can see, most came off in the first wipe. This is my first attempt at creating a video with my camera, so it is a little jumpy, but it is not edited.
