Best bug removal product?

Turtle Wax Bug and Tar remover Spay it on and let it sit for 30 sec and Tar and Bugs wipe off easily! I just used it on my parents Murano that I detailed and they were impressed with the results thats all I can say

You have to be careful with some of the bug and tar removal products as they will mess your paint up.

I use to have a HUGE bug problem. Here is my key. At least 2 times a day wipe down the front with mothers showtime retailer with a microfiber towel. Once a week wash it. If they are rely bad I use turtle wax bug remover.

Yeah, just say NO to chemicals and rubbing. It is really amazing how effective this is... Couldn't be cheaper either!

The best thing to do is have a clear bra installed. No question.

Yes some of the products can be harmful if they are used improper.... But in the order and how I use it, it is safe Wash, Bug/Tar removal, Clay Bar Cleaner Wax with orbital, Sealer with orbital.

holy shyt batman, I went outside earlier today only to find a nice creamy white pile of blue jay dung sitting on my hood. Dont have any products to clean it, but a fresh box of snuggle dryer sheets I do! So I got one wet, wet a microfiber towel and went to it. Sure as shyt, two swipes with the dryer sheet and the eagle poo was no more! Cleaned the residue with the towel, and shes good as new!

Dryer Sheets=Magic

no no no, i swear im not saying dryer sheet is bad.

Honestly i rubbed the dryer sheet down the front of the bumper and it left a weird white streak. I thought man whats that. So i tryed it again and i got another streak so i said okay i dont like this method LOL.

It did work though, stuff was coming off. I just didnt like the streak thing that was going on.

You don't just use the dryer sheet. At least I don't. I take a shop towel (i.e., paper towel) and spray some water on it, and wipe. If the bug crap doesn't come off with that alone, I use a dryer sheet on it and it comes off. But even after that I wipe the spot again with the paper towel to remove any streaks. It's not rocket science.

Paper towels will leave haze-scratches / holograms

I use microfiber, my fingernail, or hot water on microfiber, or, detail spray...

That said, I literally just washed my car for the first time since having it detailed, which was about a month ago.

Not quite as shiny as what I remember, but, I've also not done anything except wash it. Not sure what the detailers used (though I know it's not Zaino) - I'll probably hit a small spot of it with Zaino and see if it sticks.

Some of those polishes/waxes aren't layer-able, and will look fugly if you try to (some of it will come up, some of it won't)

You should be using a used one. Streaks are probably Zaino related as I've never seen that since using this technique..
