For a quick and easy way to remove bug bits....

Take a fabric softener sheet, wet it and rap it around a cleaning sponge to make it easier to hold and then wipe over the affected area. Rinse off. Works on windshields too.

The sheet doesn't scratch and what ever is in it dissolves the bug crap. I heard about this on the radio one day and tried it during love bug season. Excellent results.

 

liquid fabric softener works great for removing wallpaper. you tie with me for best idea i heard/seen/read today. mine was to use baby shampoo.

 

A trick from my motorcycle friends........

Hydrogen Peroxide on a rag let is soak a little. Breaks down proteins from the bug and will not hurt anything. Follow with a wet rag.....

 

Put it in the garage and put peanut butter (NOT CHUNKY) over the bug inflicted area. Wash off any time after about 2 or 3 hours. Works really well.

 

That's a great way to use all of that infected PB.

 

I can't wait for weather in which bugs are a problem.

 

Damn.
This is an ugly Winter day in the OC

Sorry, man...

Here is a trick my Dad taught me that works: Panty Hose. Have your wife save her nylons that get a run in them and give to you. These things work incredibly on removing bug splatter from the front end of your car. I will sometimes wrap them around a sponge and keep in in the wash water. As far as the windshield, I learned this detailing limousines in Seattle. Get those blue paper towels - "Shop Towels". Fold the towel in quarters...Wet... Sprinkle Bon Ami (DO NOT USE ANYTHING BUT BON AMI) on the towel. Wet your windshield and rub the cleaner in a circular motion - then rinse. Removes bugs, sap, and rubber residue from the windshield (the last two are an issue in the Pac NW). I do this each time I replace the wiper blades. Works great. Will not scratch if you use Bon Ami. Two cheap things - and no chemicals to hurt your car.

 

what is bon ami?

 

no idea wut the chemical is but bon ami is good friend in french
