I am the exterminator!

I have had many cars in my day but this 370 has to be the worst at collecting bugs. Is there any good bug and tar remover or anything else that makes life easier. I even have some skeletons left over after a good wax job!LOl!!

turtle wax bug and tar remover works great

keep a good coat of wax or paint sealant is first step.

then keep spraying wax as you dry product on the front end and side mirrors after every wash. much easier to remove bugs.

for washes i use Wizard's Bug Release to soften up the bugs before shampooing. makes it a lot easier to remove bugs.

btw, this is my technique for dd's. for my Z i keep a good coat of wax on it but also remove the bugs as soon as im home using some Griot's SpeedShine.

A little known trick is to use (used) Bounce dryer sheets (or any brand actually). A little water/car wash and bugs come off magically...Really. They have just the right amount of abrasiveness without affecting your paint. Skip the harsh chemicals and rubbing. Try it and you'll never be without them. No more rubbing and swirling your paint......Really!
