Default bug remover...?

what do you guys use/recommend to remove splatted bugs from the front of the car??


a pressure washer just isn't enough...


was looking on detailing world if only for a flick through, and the said about
powermaxed tfr.. I think this is the one??


Power Maxed TFR5000 Concentrate Traffic Film Remover, 5 Liters: Amazon.co.uk: Car & Motorbike Power Maxed TFR5000 Concentrate Traffic Film Remover, 5 Liters: Amazon.co.uk: Car & Motorbike


although I think its a pre-wash.. was going to use it in one of those hand held pressure sprayers.


anyone used this or another product? preferably something I can spray on and leave for a few minutes.

Tardis does the job with very little elbow grease. Or I prefer Poorboys bug squash spray with a G3 clay mitt it doesn't take long at all to loosen up all the splattered critters and then simple wipe down. And stubborn leftovers can be cleaned up with the clay side of the mitt.

RPG7 would be ideal for wasp nests, overkill for bluebottles though.

Great for Bird poo too, even if the bird has had a lot of fibre!

if your LSP is up to date they should come off very easily, rough paintwork and they will stick.

I use a slightly textured bug removing thing that works wonders - as does the back of a Meguiars wash mitt (it has the same stuff on it).

95% come off with the pressure washer, the rest I just wipe off.

A wet cloth left on for an hour or so. Failing that alcohol wipes.
