I use some Meguiars Polish and that takes care of it.

I might try that ArmorAll stuff. I have to scub and scub until my arm goes numb and it still only helped a little. This pisses me off pretty badly. I hate bugshit!

depends. i clean my car with reg car soap stuff and an old shower/beach towel. if you actaully scrub it with the towel most stuff comes out. any little scuffs are taken care of with either goo gone, concetrate orange cleaner or a lil acetone used carefully. in any case i rewash the spot i tried to clean so my paint doesn't flake off

I use this stuff called "Bug and tar remover" and it works great. I got mine at Wal-Mart.

go to paint supplies- like house paint in wal-mart or lowes, where ever. Get a can of this stuff called oops. It's clear coat safe and removes just about anything off ur paint or off ur carpet, etc. It's the best shit u can get imo. I always make sure I have some for car shows.

it removes latex paint. It'll remove paint as long as it isn't clear coated. I have used it since 99. It hasn't harmed my car. I just use it on a rag/towel to wipe off tar, bugs, hard to get off stuff. It is clear coat safe. I also spray over the area I clean with meguiar's quik detailer to make sure tho. This way it probably gets any excess "oops" off the paint. It's clear coat safe tho. The stuff is no joke. It's a must have when cleaning a daily driver up. Clear coat safe= it won't take off paint after it's clear coated. :)

try cleaner wax

waxing over bugs and tar? Wouldn't that kinda seal them in? Or make it harder to get the wax off? I would get all that stuff off, then use the wax. Maybe use a clay bar. That is for removing contaminants and stuff.

If I don't do it I will have to change my name to "Bugshit!" x(
Although I'm sure if I tell my friends they have to call me Bugshit from now on they'd by more than happy. :P



Thanx guys for all the post. I'm just gonna get some of everything. This is the first vehicle I've had that I wanted to keep looking good so I'll be damned if its gonna get spoiled by Bugshit! :nono

use a clay bar. That should take off everything from bug guts to tree sap to dirt thats been absorbed into your clear coat for who know how long. Rewax afterwards and you'll be happy.
